Aren't unborn children supposed to be free of sin? (2) There is a chemical test, whose nature I didn't get straight, that reacts one way with female brain tissue and a different way with male. The brain tissue of a homosexual male reacts like a female. I suppose there are ways in which learning to react like a female to male stimulation could cause this effect, but it seems a bit unlikely. -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt {uw-beaver,qucis,watmath}!utcsrgv!dciem!mmt
