An Ethical Question

A mother and father-to-be discover their child will be gay, so the decide to get an abortion.

Is this okay?

(this is assuming there is a genetic test for homosexuality with a very small margin of error)

Good thing you waited until Anyee left before posting this. ~worried the OTF is going to burn down~

Aborting homosexual babies will happen when such a test becomes available. Who it will be may suprise you.

Southern Baptists is the first group that comes to mind. Except they don't cotton to abortion too well. Yes they'll take the test. But I doubt they'll abort the child. Instead they'll devote their lives to "curing" their child.

Catholics is the next group. I doubt they'll take the test. The Pope is likely to proclaim the test to be a sin. Obviously there will be much ignoring of said proclaimation. The resulting guilt of parents of homosexual babies will result in all sorts of highly amusing criminal cases. The likes of which I'm not going to speculate on. Just be satisfied it'll result in many dead horses and worn out sticks.

I believe it'll be the atheist left that will abort the homosexual babies. Don't ask me why, it's just a gutshot reaction. If I'm right, the reaction will be bigger than you can imagine.

Picture this. Abortion of homosexual babies become available. Who's going to start opposing abortion the greatest? Homosexuals. Suddenly it's going to be possible to, for lack of better words, commit genocide. As homosexuals cannot have children on their own, the regressive gene will slowly be eliminated from our DNA. Fewer and fewer people with that regressive gene wil be born. Eventually homosexuality would be eliminated entirely. Do you think the homosexual lobby is going to sit by and allow this to happen? Not a chance in hell.

Abortion would become illegal within a couple years of such a test becoming available. While I'd like to see abortion on demand eliminated (keep it for medical necessities and rape victims), doing it through impending genocide isn't the way to do it.

This is exactly why I asked this question: get some some people thinking on how they would react if two closely-held beliefs come into conflict.

The fact is, most of the people who are anti-abortion are also anti-homosexual (or anti-homosexual marraige/normalization/adoption and stuff) and vice-versa.

So what happens when these two oppose each other.

Abortion effects the rights of another.
Homosexuality effects no other person's rights.

Society is bound, then, to denounce one action, but uphold the other, respectively.

I just assume people would ignore the test believing that people aren't born gay.

This is based on the assumption that people are, and there is a good test for it.

Usually people who are against homosexuals are also against abortions.. so I can't see it working. This isn't always the case but it does effect the question.

Im not sure, the same question can be applied too other things. If the parents know the child is to be born disabled or "retarded" is it ok to have an abortion? Right or wrong some people would rather have a disabled child than a gay one.

My gut instinct says both of these situations are wrong but its really down to opinion, some people may only have children to continue their gene pool, and some people cannot afford to raise children with special needs.

Last I knew, you couldn't call homosexuality a birth defect any more than heterosexuality or aversion to broccoli.

I wouldn't even consider an abortion.

We Need More Gay People

The test would be a bad thing, we are running out of room on this world and the more people in homosexual relatitionships and not having children (that is until the science become popular) My Two Copper

But that would make the world a less diverse and interesting place :mad72:

Some of my idols are gay:
Stephen Fry
Sir Ian McKellen

And the thought that they might not have been born, simply becasue they what they do in private they do with men instead women, sickens me deeply.
