Science of Desire : The Gay Gene and the Biology of Behavior
by Hamer, Dean

In July 1993, a scientific event made front-page news: the discovery that
genetics plays a significant role in determining homosexuality. In The Science
of Desire, Dean Hamer -- the scientist behind the groundbreaking study -- tells
the inside story of how the discovery was made and what it means, not only for
our understanding of sexuality, but for human behavior in general. In this
accessible and remarkably clear book, Dean Hamer expands on the account of his
history-making research to explore the scientific, social, and ethical issues
raised by his findings. Dr. Hamer addresses such tough questions as whether it
would be possible or ethical to test in utero for the gay gene; whether genetic
manipulation could or should be used to alter a person's sexuality; and how a
gay gene could have survived evolution. A compelling behind-the-scenes look at
cutting-edge scientific inquiry, as well as a brilliant examination of the
ramifications of genetic research, The Science of Desire is a lasting resource
in the increasingly significant debate over the role that genetics plays in our
lives.

Siren's Song
by Dragonhawk

I once heard a song in the night that was strangely eerie and sad, yet, at the
same had a strong sense of hope. I could only imagine the source from which the
sound emanated. This is my rendition of what it could have been, this ghostly
song of the night.
