Homosexuality Turned On and Off in Fruit Flies
- ivankirigin 19y agoGenerally, it will be interesting when parents can choose the genes of children. Some fear homogenization. I think that betrays a lack of trust in the desire to be unique. Just look at glitter on MySpace. There is also an empathy angle. If people still treat folks in the LGBT community with disrespect, a parent might be neutral on the issue but not want avoidable difficulty for their children. My guess is that this particular issue is quite generational. By the time people are making the decision to customize the genes of their children, most will find gay/bi/straight to be perfectly normal.
- dcurtis 19y agoComparing the design of someone's child to the design of someone's MySpace is horrifyingly scary.
- ivankirigin 19y agoEmbrace the chaos. You'll just look like an old fart to your kids otherwise.
