Del :

Well... Actually, your body's biochemistry *does* have a say in what 
you're attracted to. As well as your global education.

K :
> It's all my choice. As is everything else I do in life.

Del :
Well, you're lucky ! There are quite a few things in my life that 
are not at all my choice. Depression, for example. I can choose to 
fight it, but I can't choose to have it or not.

> Oh, I absolutely agree!

Del :
I agree too. But I don't expect everyone else to agree, and I won't 
base my reasonings on the idea that everyone believes as I do.

K :
> *surely it's not biology that makes Voldy murder*

Del :
Some people *do* get "high" on torture : look at Bellatrix, she sure 
seems to enjoy Cruciating people. Which is where personal ethics 
come into play : we mustn't do something just because it gives us 
pleasure. But when those ethics are warped, missing or have been 
silenced over time, only the instincts (biology) remain ...
