A "cure" for gay?

[luzribeiro]

Future year, 2025.

After years and millions of dollars of research, researchers in Bern, Switzerland have developed a medicine that can actually cause a homosexual person to become heterosexual.

Yes, through the manipulation of hormones and the genetic code, these scientists have actually found a way to force the human brain to be sexually attracted to ONLY persons of the opposite sex. Any sexual arousal that at one time was only caused by people of the same sex, is completely undone, as long as the medication is being taken.*

My question to you is: should this medication be legal in your country, and should parents have the legal right to force their children to take this medication?

* just for the hell of it, let's make it a maintenance drug that requires permanent use.

While you did use the quotations, it's important to point out that indeed, "curing" homosexuality means that we assume homosexuality is a disease which is inherently negative or fatal. As you personally know very well, homosexuality is most definitely not either of those. So I do not know how to answer to this.

is it a genetic mutation that causes homosexuality then??

Of course not. Homosexuality is not a disease and "curing" it it's like "curing" black skin, because we all know that white is so much better.

Besides that, if it's a maintenance drug, then definitely no to parents forcing their children to take it. Adults, maybe, -if they make a concious decision to do it and only with strict supervisions of doctors and psychologists.

Sadly, if someone invented something like that, it would probably be made legal without much discussion - I'm afraid that even forcing the children would not be a big controversy. Most of the politicians are homophobic like whoa here.
