Christians and Gay Babies

There's a really interesting and thoughtful piece by Albert Mohler up called "Is Your Baby Gay?" He begins with a number of pre-natal screening tests that are performed, calling them collectively "one of the greatest threats to human dignity in our times" because the results so often prompt parents to choose abortion.

What's interesting about this article is that it is a carefully constructed argument against aborting gay babies (Mohler seems convinced that we'll soon be able to diagnose homosexuality in vitro).

He lays out eight points for Christians to consider on the topic of screening in vitro for homosexuality, but what grabbed me was point 8:

If a biological basis is found, and if a prenatal test is then developed, and if a successful treatment to reverse the sexual orientation to heterosexual is ever developed, we would support its use as we should unapologetically support the use of any appropriate means to avoid sexual temptation and the inevitable effects of sin.

But if Christians consider it appropriate to dose a pregnant woman and her unborn child with hormones as a "means to avoid sexual temptation and the inevitable effects of sin", what about adolescents? What if a hormone therapy could be developed to delay the onset of puberty until the late teens? Or if we could develop a pill that would simply quash the libido (actually, many drugs do this). Is it Christian to want this sort regimen applied to people in order to "avoid sexual temptation"?

What about other types of sin? To what degree should we seek to medicalize the approach to what some faiths consider sins?

There is a commandment in the Bible that instructs believers not to covet what others have (or, what God has given to others). I wonder if actively working to change the sexual orientation of one's child so it's more like other peoples' children would fall under this heading.

What kind of sin is it to want to rid the world of what God has made?
