HUH? A Dutch neuroscientist Dick Swaab is making the headlines for his recent controversial statement. In his new book � We are Our Brains, Dick claims that women who suffer stress during pregnancy increase the chance of their child being gay. Smoking and taking drugs can also result to �altering the child�s heterosexuality�. Professor Swaab reveals that the lifestyle of pregnant women alters hormones and the formation of their brains, thereby affecting their sexuality. He also believes that the sexuality of a child is determined in the womb and not a lifestyle choice. �Although it�s frequently assumed that development after birth also importantly affects our sexual orientation, there�s no proof of this whatsoever. Children brought up by lesbians aren�t more likely to be homosexual. Nor is there any evidence at all for the misconception that homosexuality is a �lifestyle choice�.� he says. Dick Swaab, 69, who is based at the University of Amsterdam, also states that �the more older brothers a boy has, the greater the chance that he will be homosexual.�
