But you're right, I hadn't thought of the extreme religious right, many of whom would be vehemently against the technology itself rather than supporting the outcome of it. Imagine, an issue bringing them and gays together in common protest. ha!
It is possible that some religious groups would welcome the technology, but I think the number would be very small. Most religious people I know believe that being gay is a choice. They don't think you are born that way, they think you give in to temptation and choose to become that way and that you can choose to not be that way if you want.
