Brave New World
June 18, 2007
The New York Magazine posts a fairy lengthy article updating the latest info on biology and sexual orientation. Very little new information there, other than that multiple lines of inquiry are overlapping to show that sexual-orientation has a strongly determined biological component.
I'm of the mindset that there are probably "homosexualities," groups of factors that combine and result in exclusive same-gender attraction in males. It's not much of a stretch to think that 10 years from now, we'll have a good idea what those etiologies are and what role, culturally, homosexuality plays in the Human Species as a whole.
The day is coming, sooner than any of us would like, that we'll not only understand what are the majority of the causes for male homosexuality, but also what can be done to prevent that from happening. And not too long after that, we'll have the technology to change sexual orientation, either after its been expressed or before it has a chance to manifest.
And that's when things will really get interesting.
