I wouldnt abort a kid if I knew it was gonna be gay. I would abort it if I knew it was going to be a jerk that aborts gay babies for being gay.

It's the woman's choice. If she doesn't want to have a gay baby, it's her decision. I'd hope my partner wouldn't abort for that reason, but I don't want to impose restrictions on abortions, period.

This question does bring up an interesting point that I've heard before, and that is what about the bigots who would abort a child because of sexuality? Would discovering a gay gene be worth that?

I'm sure he'd abort anything non-Turkish regardless of sexuality.
You just took out the pin, friend.
Why not throw the bomb, and tell me what you want from me.

I'd rather they were gay than support Liverpool.... Wink

Seriously though, this is indeed an ethical question that will need to be dealt with in the near future - Has anyone seen the excellent movie Gattaca?

What if we find the gene that predisposes people towards religious tendencies...

Wish I had such a choice...

Estrogen is a powerful force 0.o
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Aborting it for such a thing seems ridiculous.

If it was a lesbian then when it grew up to the age where I could take her to the pub she could help me pick up women Tongue
