The future of homosexuality and other non-conventional traits
Good day everyone,
I was hoping that some of you who are more versed on this topic than me could ease (or worsen) my fears regarding my sexuality in the future. I fear that with the coming of technologies like CRISPR that eventually we will find a 'cause of homosexuality'. I fear what will follow is a 'silent genocide' or 'curing' depending on how you look at it of this trait.
I think I would be pretty depressed by that. I love lesbian culture and this little niche of 'people like me' in a sometimes pretty harsh world.
would also extrapolate this not just to my 'trait', but any 'non-conventional' lifestyle/trait/personality. Are we heading towards a cruel version of Huxley's Brave New World?
Now I just want to ask you guys if any you have any ideas on the sociology and/or technology of this. How likely it is and whether I should expect it in my lifetime.
Thank you!
