You guys are touching on something I said in my opening post, that some people would view this as gayness being treated like a disease. While most people have no problem with science finding ways to eliminate disease, many do have a problem with something that would eliminate a human genetic trait, like gayness.
Except the other problem being that a lot of OTHER people would embrace it and no doubt say "yes" when the doctor asks if they want this gene neutralized in their unborn children.
There's already a lot of conflicting opinions in this thread and the "service" doesn't even exist yet. Imagine if it became available next year or the year after though. I would be very surprised if there wasn't a massive uproar of protest over it.
I applaud the few of you who have come forward and stated openly and honestly as to what you'd do if you were an expecting parent and presented with with such a choice. I'd love it if more would answer the question.
