It's not so much that I'm worried about the vehicle, as I am at the potential to redefine what is human. We have seen genocides come about in the past because of such redefinitions. Plus, in this case, messing with the structure of the family is lethal for a civilization. Screwing with the nuclear family structure in the name of freedom--any freedom--is the sociological equivalent of shouting "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.
