CITIZEN ALERT v1.142THOSE RAMS ARE SO GAY

If you haven't already, you may start to hear of a story where scientists at Oregon State University have made a gay ram - apparently 1 in 10 rams prefer other rams (who knew!) - anyway, they say they have adjusted the hormonal balance in the brains of these rams and made them "straight".

The scientists have been able to pinpoint the mechanisms influencing the desires of “male-oriented” rams by studying their brains. The animals’ skulls are cut open and electronic sensors are attached to their brains.

By varying the hormone levels, mainly by injecting hormones into the brain, they have had “considerable success” in altering the rams’ sexuality, with some previously gay animals becoming attracted to ewes.

Professor Charles Roselli, the Health and Science University biologist leading the research, defended the project.

He said: “In general, sexuality has been under-studied because of political concerns. People don’t want science looking into what determines sexuality.

Okay, so we all know where this is leading, so let's say, for the sake of argument, that this research will not eventually be ripped to shreds, but let's say, okay, you figured out away to make a gay person into a straight person. How offended are you by this? Let's change the attribute for a moment. What if these same scientists came out and said, we've figured out a way to make any baby white! Now, how offended are you?

Is altering a persons sexuality "curing" them or in fact altering them? It's only a "cure" if you assumed the sexuality was abnormal to begin with.
