This is an era of EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE, most of the diseases/medical conditions have no root cause found till date, these are termed IDEOPATHIC, there are assumptions that this might be themost probable cause. Then experts sit down & make a policy which is agreeable on that particular time frame. It may change when new research comes. Science is dynamic/ not static. Who knew till a few days ago that Einstein's theory will be shaken!? But scientists found it. So is true with disease cause. Evidence based medicine today believes that HOMOS*XUALITY is not a disease. SHOW ME ANY LATEST MEDICAL REVIEW WHICH BELIEVES IT TO BE A DISEASE. Antisocial Activily/ Illegal Activity u are talking here is part & parcel of human behaviour....nothing special about heteros*xual/ homos*xuals in particular! I never touched that topic. All the contention is that HOMOS*XUALITY/ HETEROS*XUALITY IS A MATTER OF S*XUAL PREFERENCE ONLY. ITS NOT A DISEASE TO BE CORRECTED ANYWAYS! Originally posted by :Dr. MPS RAMANI Ph.D.[Tech] |

In the first place I am not a lawyer. What little of law I know, I learnt from this Forum only. I doubt if anybody has been benefited from my “knowledge of law” But I am a scientist and I know how scientific investigations are carried out and how conclusions are arrived at. One should be very cautious to use the word “proven” in scientific matters. Also in science one does not quote from scriptttures nor does one rely on the authority of, say, a body of professionals. True scientists do not aspire for positions in professional bodies. Mr. Rajiv_lodha relies, among others, on the American Psychiatric Association to claim proof. Let us see how the Association “proved” that homos*xuality was not a disease. I am quoting the same source as Mr. Rajiv_lodha. “In 1973, the weight of empirical data, coupled with changing social norms and the development of a politically active gay community in the United States, led the Board of Directors of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homos*xuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Some psychiatrists who fiercely opposed their action subsequently circulated a petition calling for a vote on the issue by the Association's membership. That vote was held in 1974, and the Board's decision was ratified” There were pressures behind the decision. Even then finally it had to be “proven” by voting. In science things are not decided by vote. If there was a dispute, as to how many teeth a donkey has, we do not decide it by voting. We just catch a donkey and count the number of teeth, he has. Other researches were statistical studies. And what did they prove? Homos*xuals except for their homos*xuality are normal human beings. Dr. Stephen Hawkins is completely paralyzed due to disease. But he is a genius and a celebrated astrophysicist. Does it mean that he did not suffer from the disease? There are homos*xual celebrities, who misbehaved with hotel staff. Some may retort are there no heteros*xuals who misbehave. But if it is a heteros*xual male (as most are) only females have to be cautious in dealing with them. Among a group of males or females one would not know who is a homos*xual and who is not. Many homos*xuals are pedophiles. There are people who rape month old baby girls. Should we call them perverts or should we say that in all other matters, they are normal and so they should be condoned for all they did with the baby? |
