"Guess that the church will accept abortion as soon as there is a test that can tell if the fetus are going to be gay or not."

No actually they're hinging the whole thing on whether the fetus will end up pro life or not. If the fetus will end up pro abortion, well then...

Yep, it's a well known fact that your behaviour has effects on the way in which your brain works. So it makes sense that those who behave differently would see corresponding changes in their brain structure.

Why? To the church even gay people are considered persons, on par with unborn children.

To be honest, it makes perfect sense: one's brain is constantly evolving due to external feedback AND current activity. Nothing stronger in both areas than one's own behavior.

Did they look at the brain structure of unborn children? Is there any difference between the brain structure of unborn children who later grow up to be gay, and between those who are straight?

There is thus a fairly strong correlation between being left-handed, being gay and being brilliant.

No, only since the late 80s.

AFAIK, these structures have only been observed in adult males. It's unlikely they'e looked for them in young boys, to see whether the brain structure is a result or a cause of homosexuality.

It's hard to tell how accurate these surveys comparing homosexual brains and heterosexual brains. The thing is due to a repressive society, many homosexuals aren't going to be out of the closet. The only homosexuals you are going to be able to study are those who are quite open about their sexual orientation, and we don't know if the brains of gays who are out of the closet are different from those who are still closeted. You could have a selection at problem at work here which makes these comparisons difficult.

i'd like to give it a go for a week or so, just to see if my deluded vision of how great it must be is true

Still i wonder if its something that can be changed ever after those formative years? and changed back? hmmm if this is proven to be absolutly true, then science will probably be able to fix it?
