Mental illnesses like homosexuality or liberalism?
Eliminating the low IQ segment of society sounds pretty good. It would reduce the democrat population by at least 75 percent.
I don’t know how much the new tests cost, but for pennies on the dollar I can predict low IQ for offspring by merely looking at pictures of the parents. Throw in writing samples, and we’d be up to 99.99999 accuracy.
How about $10 a test? And for $5, I’ll gladly answer the question for couples BEFORE they breed.

“It’s not like there won’t be enough low IQ people who want kids like them, or who even care what the IQ level will be.”
Low IQ parents are not capable of producing high IQ babies.
It’s just not in their genes.
“How about $10 a test? And for $5, I’ll gladly answer the question for couples BEFORE they breed.”
A three minute conference call and $50 should do it.
And I can top your accuracy by another 9.
They can’t find them, despite looking as hard as they can, because homosexuality is the result of child abuse and pederasty and they don’t want that answer.
Better article....
Sexual orientation, just like intelligence and quite probably a lot of other traits, likely involve more than one gene. Maybe lots more. Seems to me what thus company is offering is the possible opportunity to lessen the risk of having a child with an unwanted trait or traits. If they suggest anything else, they’re peddling snake oil.
Please note, I am NOT suggesting that, if they can do what they say, this is ethical.
To me, suggestions that homosexuality is genetic are just as crazy as suggesting that subscribing to the New York Times is genetic.
These are learned behaviors. Nature pulls HARD in the other direction, so we are talking severe trauma involved.
Look, IMO this whole concept is not to whip up anti-abortion( altho that would be good) it's about PREVENTING specific reasons for it, namely homosexuality. The percentage of people who wouldn't want a stupid/smart kid is not as threatening as those who wouldn't want a homosexual child. It's about not breeding homosexuality out of humankind .
Abortion is practically a sacrament,for NO reason these days ;but abortion for homosexuality is wrong? Quite a moral/political dilemma science is causing,eh?
“Throw in writing samples, and we’d be up to 99.99999 accuracy.”
Do you refer to quality of writing or penmanship? If you judged me by my cursive you would say that I don’t have sense enough to breathe. Penmanship was just something that I never could seem to manage. I had classmates who had amazingly beautiful signatures but had to struggle to keep from failing in multiple subjects. I could pass the tests without cracking a book but I have to block print anything I am forced to write with a pen, otherwise it is indecipherable. I could, at a younger age, write cursive script that could be read, though far from pretty, but now I can’t even do that well. Thank God for keyboards.
And there I thought genetics had nothing to do with IQ.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. :-)
And yet there are more complete lies and wanna-be fictions still, of which “genetic homosexuality” is one.
I know someone they wanted aborted predicting brain defect. She recently graduated from Oxford University with her doctorate.
I meant all this as a joke, but had content and written expression in mind rather than form. Low IQ people can be trained to a beautiful hand, but you can’t teach a moron to have deep thoughts or express them elegantly. A certain type of fast, barely legible handwriting often implies a mind working faster than the hand. I’d interpret your illegible scrawl as brilliance boiling to be free.
(Let’s hope no one is taking this seriously...)
