Argument
2, Procreation/Modes Ponens Method
For the sake of this
argument we will define homosexuality(H) as sexual intercourse with the
same-sex/gender. That being said, homosexuality
is wrong because it does not contribute to reproduction. I believe this to be true because without adequate
reproduction the human race would die. Consider this argument;
Any sexual act that does not lead to reproduction is
wrong
(H) is a sexual act that does not lead to
reproduction
Hence, (H) is wrong.
Unfortunately, this is not a sound argument due to
the fact that there are many heterosexual couples who engage in intercourse
while participating in contraception. Does this make their act of sexual intercourse
wrong? The answer is not in today’s society.
There are also cases of some women being infertile. Does this too mean
that they cannot enjoy the benefits of being married?
