Because of the enormous computing power of modern microprocessors, this inquiry may produce definitive results before the end of the next decade. It seems likely, based on the data gathered so far, that homosexuality is indeed genetically determined. If it is, then questions of motive are irrelevant. The remaining millions will be spent on neuroscientific research.

We can either give evolution a shove in the right direction or in the wrong direction, depending on whether we know what we are doing.'' For example, it may soon be possible to predict accurately what kind of life a child might have based on his or her genetic code. A DNA sample can be acquired in the first moments of life. This sample could then be immediately analyzed on a DNA chip. The results could inform the parents what ''traits'' are embedded in their child's genetic code. Decision trees regarding that child's development could then be built to help him or her live a happier, healthier life.
