OT, speaking of abortion, your thoughts on this please.

If I recall correctly, and I paraphrase, you were in favor of aborting black babies because of the likelihood that they'd lead miserable lives. It seems researchers are getting closer to unlocking the genetic secrets of homosexuality (for the record I've long believed that homosexuals are wired that way and don't choose to be gay). If the genetic puzzle is finally solved, do you think it'd be wise that parents abort their kids that are destined to be homosexuals?

Researchers Say They Have Found Genetic Switches for Homosexuality

A new study from the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) reveals that epigenetics, rather than genetics, could be the basis for homosexuality.

To begin, epigenetics looks at how gene expression is managed by temporary switches, known as epi-marks. In the report, recently published online in The Quarterly Review of Biology, the authors discussed how sex-specific epi-marks generally do not transmit between generations and are considered “erased.” Homosexuality can result when these marks are not “erased” and are passed on from father to daughter or mother to son.

“Transmission of sexually antagonistic epi-marks between generations is the most plausible evolutionary mechanism of the phenomenon of human homosexuality,” explained the study’s co-author Sergey Gavrilets, who serves as the NIMBioS’ associate director for scientific activities and professor at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, in a prepared statement.

The researchers explain how homosexuality is common for men and women in various cultures despite knowledge of evolutionary methods. Past studies have looked at how homosexuality is passed through family members, but no gene related to homosexuality has been found. The current study by the researchers from the Working Group on Intragenomic Conflict at NIMBioS produced a biological and mathematical model based on evolutionary theory and new information on gene express and androgen-dependent sexual development.

I read that far and found you were both wrong and lying- so reading the rest or commenting on it is not worthwhile...

He's right WW. But not about the lying. PLUS, you weren't totally wrong.

He seems to think it's OK to abort babies because they might be "unwanted". "Unwanted" would equate to a miserable existence.

As for me, I don't understand the unwanted statement. :???:

I now understand how, in your world, Bush lied so much. What part of, If I recall correctly and I paraphrase, don't you understand?

Perhaps I was wrong. But lying? :lol:

Okay, I'll rephrase. If it's believed by the parents that their baby-to-be might be homosexual and therefore unwanted by society, should they abort him?

"

This is utterly ridiculous on the face of it. If a person believes in evolutionary biology , that person would have to believe that counter-productive genes would be eliminated from the genome since they would impede survival of the species. So, how in the world would homosexuality be a genetic factor that would be passed on for generations since homosexuality stops reproduction of the species?

Homosexuality is clearly a choice made by people who choose to participate in degrading activities.

I guess we can add coward to his long list of accomplishments. :D

Why would I worry about answering a a liar and a racist :???:
You've turned into a Hoppy and Larry type ankle biter - altho we already knew you were a Hypocrite.. :wink:

So you'd agree with aborting babies that were determined by genetic testing to be destined to be born homosexuals?

BTW, if you're going to call me a liar, would you please direct me to one of my lies. Just one.

Oh, almost forgot, the racist part too. Just one. Come on, you can do it.

Then by common sense deductions, we are left only to assume it's OK by you to kill "Unwanted" babies.
