  Do you really believe there is a genetic marker for such?
  then ought there to be a genetic marker for hererosexuality, abstinence?
  the white coats claim there is a genetic marker for crime. Unreal,
  imagine being tested at birth and labeled WITHOUT an avenue of
  renouncing such.  
  The political consequences of genetic labeling are scarey. these questions
  ought not to be asked.  Imagine if genetic claims were genaralized across
  an ethnic group (as science did in the 19th century to justify rascism).
  consider the public policy  and expenditures that would be implemented.
  scary!
