Ditto It Can't be emotionally healthy to force someone to suppress their feelings. This is emotional abuse. The people who run these camps are abusing these kids and should be put in jail!They are sickos who claim to be doing god's work.VertigoGal said:I can't believe this discussion is even going on. I was telling my dad about these camps and the first thing he said was, "what's the suicide rate?" It's so sick, teaching kids to suppress their natural feelings and emotions, using fear of eternal punishment to scare kids into "becoming straight." it hurts the kids and it hurts the women they'll get into a relationship with later on, one that's doomed to fail.
A_Wanderer said:I think that sexual orientation can be changed, I think that the neurochemistry that 'hard wires' human sexuality could be altered to induce sexual attraction to ones own sex or visa versa. I think that if that was ever explored and/or exploited as a "treatment" of sorts it would raise a lot of questions about the individuals right over their sexual preference.
Replace the initial can with a more accurate could possibly.melon said:
You say that while science actually knows very little about what makes people straight, let alone gay.

I personally think that it is possible for such a technology to be abused, although it is not at that stage yet. I also think that if used properly then it could be very useful for humanity (or as such things usually are the rich end of it) ~ genetic manipulation could have a lot of potential it all depends on how it is used, the idea itself is not inherently evil ~ but this is probably a seperate issue from sexual preference and the related in that they are both aspects of sexuality although seperate gender identity.And....if we go around genetically engineering people the way we want them to be don't you think the results could be terrifying?
