A very poor point, unless you can prove that the indiviuals could help themselves.

Oh, and you can use you as an example. You must recreate the exact circumstances and then prove a different outcome was possible.

In anycase the argument relies on stereotypes to work. Not all alcoholic beat their wives and rape their kids, not a;; drug addicts rob to feed their habits.

A more important move . . . is that Psychiatrists [are] … supposed to help homosexuals to live and be contented as active homosexuals.
As Father Benedict Groeschel, a practicing psychologist, said, the goal of modern psychology is to help people who are disturbed in one way or another to become merely miserable.

This is an example.

Arguments from fear have no bearing on this debate. Many people drive cars.
So you don’t believe anything is so dangerous that people deserve to be warned about it? So dangerous it would be foolish to do it merely to satisfy a sexual urge?
