This, I didn’t know:

Great discussion in the Corner about your interesting article. I thought you’d like to know that the Oregon scientists themselves say the public reports about how they “cured” a “gay” sheep are a pack of lies. They say PETA objected to doing hormone treatments on animals, so to create opposition to it, they falsely claimed that these hormone treatments were being used to change animals’ sexual orientation. In fact, they say, that wasn’t the purpose of the treatments, and the actual effect of the treatments on the animals’ sexual behavior is unclear. Mark Steyn has a long and very angry letter from them in the letters section of his webpage. Scroll down to the one titled “Setting the Record Straight (But Not the Sheep).” Obviously this doesn’t change the larger point in your article, because even if we can’t do it now, we may yet be able to do it at some point, and the question of how we use science to define what “humanity” is will remain. But I thought you’d also want to get the facts of the sheep case straight (so to speak).

Me: I inserted the link in the email. The fastest way to find the letter is to search for the word “sheep.”
