Well, it finally happened...

I've been expecting this for many years:

Pastor's Column On Gay Babies Raises Ire

The original article that the above comments on basically says "Ok, if it's biological than the Bible says we need to use prenatal hormones treatments to 'cure' it."

The article linked above has a poll about whether or not that sort of thing should be done. please go and vote. The "No" votes are ahead as I write this, but not by much.


I'm not as angry about this as many of you probably are after reading this. But that's because I've been *expecting* this for 30 years.

Remember, I'm the person who has said many times in the past that even *nasty* recessives shouldn't be edited out without taking precautions.

Because genes that are "pro survival" in one environment can be anythung but in another. And sometimes those "bad" genes *as unmatched recessives* will be what you need to survive.

BTW, there's a classic SF reference in the strip. See if you can spot it. :-)

Well, I don't know if it was deliberate or not, but the computer is named "Joe". And one of the real early stories about self-aware computers (as opposed to robots) was Murray Leinster's "A Logic Named Joe".
