Kerryn Phelps, MBBS Biography
- Title:
- Adjunct Professor at Sydney University in the Faculty of Medicine in the Schools of Public Health and the Discipline of General Practice
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Is Sexual Orientation Determined at Birth?"
- Reasoning:
-
“We frequently see homosexual behaviour in many other animal species. Homosexual behaviours have been noted in every primate species so far studied. From a sociological perspective, homosexuality is found in all cultures throughout history – and societal norms seem to have little influence on the incidence or practice of this behaviour. Why? Because purely and simply homosexuality is a normal part of the continuum of human sexual expression.”
