Suppose a technology existed that let one control the homo/heterosexuality of a person by acting on a fetus in utero. Would you use this technology?

Suppose the same existed, but for cis/transgender.

if you chose an option other than (A) on the second poll, mind explaining your reasoning? I can imagine several explanations and I'm curious how they gel with contemporary accounts of transgender Like, seems easily compatible with the Blanchard model but not with dysphoria?

I dont believe in playing God without sufficient reason.

Humans are already partially (and potentially) Gods. This excuse looks like an abdication of responsibility to me. (Though there may be other, good, reasons for not interfering.)

Humans dont do well with responsibility, so I'm happy to abdicate

That's still a choice within the responsibility you've already been given. Your abdication does not avoid the responsibility, it simply pretends the responsibility doesn't exist. In fact, it would be an _example_ of not doing well with responsibility.

Are you responsible for all the lives you didnt save today?

Yep. Because I have better things to do than do a bunch of lives or whatever. But sometimes I might make an exception, as an act of undeserved (on their part) grace and generosity.
