You Get The World You Wish For

Will wonders never cease. Our Brave New Left, defenders of scientists against the theocrat Bush, have found discovered a chink in their Futurist armor. Apparently science can go to far, and I'm not talking about the European bogeyman of Frankenfood.
"Scientists are conducting experiments to change the sexuality of “gay” sheep in a programme that critics fear could pave the way for breeding out homosexuality in humans.
The technique being developed by American researchers adjusts the hormonal balance in the brains of homosexual rams so that they are more inclined to mate with ewes.
The research, at Oregon State University in the city of Corvallis and at the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, has caused an outcry. Martina Navratilova, the lesbian tennis player who won Wimbledon nine times, and scientists and gay rights campaigners in Britain have called for the project to be abandoned."

Peter Tatchell, the gay rights campaigner, said: “These experiments echo Nazi research in the early 1940s which aimed at eradicating homosexuality. They stink of eugenics. There is a danger that extreme homophobic regimes may try to use these experimental results to change the orientation of gay people."
Checklist time
Abortion...OK
StemCell research....OK
Cloning....OK
Curing Homosexuality in the womb....echoes of Nazi research

Of course I'm sure someone like Tatchell would oppose abortion if it was aimed at fetus that was somehow shown to gay in vitro.
You see killing is OK as long as the victim is not a member of a designated victim group.
