Some attribute all birth defects to being purposeful..and not random. Either there to test the faith of the family or because there is a family curse that perpetuates God's judgement generation after generation. So, some would say the hemaphrodite should worry more about figuring out "why" they are a hemaphrodite..rather than "who" they should be sleeping with. i read abook on generational curses once where theories like this were raised and evidenced, but it's been a while. The writer also said that Homosexuality was a result of a generational family curse.

Not saying I share the belief, but from a biblical viewpoint it gives credance to homosexuality being genetic rather than learned behavior as some believe. The arguement was definitley not compassionate, but was interesting. But I personally am more inclined to believe something like that than simply believing homesexuality being a choice rather than genetic.
