LOL the research was funded by the Vatican.

You must be seeing things, take some serotonin.

Two questions

1. Were the mice kept in the cold?
2. Was there any female mice?

The real question is, Morba - when did you begin to lose your serotonin!

HA
AH-HAHA

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Psychiatrist: So, Mr. Edwards... can you tell me at what age you think your serotonin levels began depleting?

Jakeee · 24 Mar 2011 at 16:39

oh no he didn't !

To tell if something prefers A over B, surely you need to have both A and B....

Haven't read the Nature article, but from a purely practical standpoint, it can't be that much of an issue, as they appear to have managed to maintain their knockout mouse line

Anyway. BBC-in-only-reporting-the-science-because-it's-controversial-shocker.

Nevermind gay, they should be inventing the cure for being an annoying ****.

Smack on the ear normally does the trick

I took it more in the sense not that it's immediately dismissable because it was (even in part) Vatican funded, but rather the humour that the Vatican may be paying for research to find a scientific "cure" for their fiddlin' priests.

I agree it is humorously ironic.

Given that serotonin releasing agents and reuptake inhibitors don't change sexuality I would say that serotonin levels are not a factor here. The research doesn't say the mice were gay anyway, it says lost their preference for females which is entirely different. Furthermore human sexual preference is not determined by smell.

All in all, thread fail.

Congratulations. The first step is admitting you have a problem!

Even if it was "curable" I wouldn't want to be "cured"

and I hate using the word "cured" as it is not a illness

Judgeneo · 24 Mar 2011 at 17:22

Well.

Who knew

Surely something the result of a chemical imbalance should be cured?

How long before this thread is locked?

I cant see it getting past the 4th page.

PMKeates · 24 Mar 2011 at 17:26

Interesting!

It promoted a thought - what if taking a drug would make me straight, would I take it?

I decided that I probably wouldn't, as long as there are plenty of gays to go around

Maybe. But, we are all just the result of our chemical balance (or lack of it), and effectively 'curing' any part of it just neutralises us, and that could be quite boring!

A discussion on a scientific report, what's wrong with that?
