Re: A cure for homosexuality?

If some people WANTED to "cure" their own sexual tendencies, they would be denying themselves, their true selves..when you try to change someone in that deep of a level, you are misleading them into denying who they really are. Sometimes changing on a certain level is a good thing, like trying to lose weight, or trying to quell an angry disposition. But all things can lead to great excess, and if it goes too far and too deeply, one can get into trouble. After all, would you want to lose so much weight that you would become completely anorexic and obsessed with yourself? And would you want to rid yourself of any ability to use anger to fight back in important situations? (For example, defending yourself against an killer with a gun.)

Science is making a big mistake in trying to change the world too strongly. Now they want to try and change our way of thinking altogether. It's like they want us all to be clones of each other. Humans come into this world looking, feeling, and acting differently for a reason.

The mind is a delicate thing, and far more vast than anyone could understand. Not one person can comprehend themselves to the full extent that we would like to. And I hope that, even if one day someone discovers a way to do so, they never try to manipulate or use it.

Manipulation...is what would lead our society to misery. Dictatorships would be prominent if scientists could control the human mind in ways we're not even sure of yet. Does anyone want that great, that powerful, that terrible of an authority?
