Would you replace a homosexual gene in your child if given the choice?

So if the doctors told you that your son due to be born would be homosexual as he had a dominant gene for homosexuality. Would you replace that gene with another of yours (a straight version) if given the choice by doctors to stop your child becoming homosexual later in life? Hypothetical situation of course.

We end up with designer babies if we go down that route.

Hmm I think if most were honest they would. If you have gay children, they're unlikely to produce you grandchildren. Nearly every parents wants grandchildren don't they?

Yes i want grandkids.

I'd replace the faulty genes in everyone if I had the chance, but nothing more....... So no

Anyone who says yes are being selfish for grandchildren

Yeah because i want normal straight children, im selfish!

Good one pal

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with being selfish. Having children is often selfish, is it not?

No.

You bring a child into the world for your own enjoyment and in some cases, to fill a some parental desire or hole in life.

I don't think the same goes for disabilities, at least in what I think you're referring to. I am talking about disabilities which lead to disfigurement, loss of mental capacity or loss of physical capacity. Did you refer to something else? In such cases, a person can never have a normal life, pursuant to the confinements imposed by such liabilities.

Even if you argue "acceptance" here, with a homosexual you have to accept the preferences of the person. It does not affect you personally at all. With a disabled person, you'd have to accept the significant difficulty of communication (with regards to mental disabilities), the difficulty of movements (with physical ones) and so on. Hence, the two are actually opposites rather than similar.

I would never "understand" or even try to understand someone who wishes to change the skin of their child. If people are discriminating you on this basis, they're not worth having in your life, full stop. If it's about employers or whatnot, you have the law.

I'm interested to see how peoples response change if you change the question. Where it becomes:

"If you had to choose your child's sexuality, what would you choose.?"



I think designer babies are a good thing.

Not to intrude or anything, but your argument is invalid. One would "change" a disabled child because disabilities directly affect your physical or mental capabilities. Homosexuality does neither. The two cannot be compared, and thus they do not propose a contradiction.

You do have some sort of obsession on the topic of incest eh? :P

You can't seem to get it in your head that you have demonstrated no logical argument as to what makes the two so different.
You really are having trouble reading.
There is more than one type of Christian.
There are other religions aside from Christianity.
Religion is not the only reason why someone would prefer a heterosexual over a homosexual. Their reasons are no different to why you would rather not have a disabled child, so please stop with bashing religion. Nobody is telling you to be religious, but it gives you no right to talk badly about it just because the views of religion are different to yours.
This only offends you because you are homosexual. You are not disabled which is why you have no problem altering a disabled child.

I'm fully aware that racism is still prevalent. I'm black and no I wouldn't choose for my child to be white. I clearly have first hand experience of being an ethnic minority so I know how to handle myself living in a predominantly white society.
Who said anything about raising a child to believe that differences is wrong?

My main point here is that your initial comment was contradictory considering you said you wouldn't change a homosexual child but you would change a disabled child.

Do you support incest?
