Genetically engineered babies. A new hormonal treatment is said to be able to treat congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic disorder that can interfere with the development of genitalia. The Los Angeles Times article writes: “in severe cases, girls are born with male-like sexual organs although they usually have ovaries and a uterus.”
The treatment is extremely controversial because while it aims to cut the “ambiguity” in genital formation, a side effect is the possibility that it might cut the likelihood of a female baby becoming homosexual. Of course this then begs the big question: is there “gay” gene and if so, is it right to alter it? The Los Angeles Times reports.
