Gay Gene Row

A row has broken out against a suggestion that recipients of the sperm of gay donors should be told that a “gay gene” could be passed on to the child.

There are two issues for me. One being is there a gay gene and the second is if so should recipients be told.

I have no knowledge of the first. However almost every expert in the field seems to say yes there is but we don’t quite know how it works and it is only one of a number of factors.

However as to whether you tell recipients that is easy for me. I believe in full disclosure. Height, occupation, hair colour, sexual orientation etc. Not quite designer babies but this sort of information is quite common overseas.
