Not only would I do it, I would pay for anyone that couldn't afford to do it.

And you'd soon be broke.

I would probably do it, but unlike some people, I wouldn't be doing it out of hatred, I would do it out of an interest in making my child's life easier.

Whatever the reason, it would be a good one.

Even out of hatred, huh? Interesting.

And what would the world be without gay people? Seriously.

Hitler comes to mind for some reason.

It's an interesting question with potentially serious implications. Some studies show differences in talents and skills between those who are predominantly heterosexual and those who are predominantly homosexual. Would altering a person's sexual orientation also alter those skills and talents that are particular to that person's natural sexual orientation? Lots of studies will need to be done on this.

First of all they don't make ANY injections that have absolutely NO side effects.

Second, If we had ways to do that what would be created to prevent next?

Third, I like the world and the people in it just as they are. I don't give a hoot what someones sexual preference is, even it was my child.
What a boring world we would have if we were all alike.

Heck, no! I have two children and I love them JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. There is nothing wrong with gay people, it's society's treatment that needs to be fixed. There are many places in this world today where it is easier to be open about one's sexuality - so being gay no longer equals a quality of life issue. Sure, it limits options of where you can live openly and happily, but hey, I wouldn't want to live in areas with that kind of hate and ignorance even if I WASN'T gay.

Should Jewish parents hide it and raise their children as if they weren't Jewish, change last names, etc? What about the option of black parents turning their children white? How about an injection that prevents kids from being born ginger?

Again - I love my kids just the way they are so I can't imagine trying to change something about them before they're even born.
