Thread: "Why do I like boys?"

Why are scientists wasting their precious time and money researching for the gay gene, anyway? They could be searching for the allergy gene, the aggressive gene, the ethics gene, the intelligence gene, etc.

Obviously because aggression is an instict, and we already know what it is.
And because science researches everything, and doesn't run away from the topics certain people don't like.

They are researching all of those "genes", as well as scientists have particular fields. It makes sense to be as broad in the medical field as possible, rather than putting all of our scientists on any select gene whilst neglecting research in another. Knowledge is power .

Not to mention you can't such say "[insert anything here] gene".

That is because we don't know if it's a single gene, a combination of genes, a combination of genes and environment, or environment purely. That's what I meant in my post. Allergy gene? There are so many different types of allergy it's even dumb.
