Dr NE Whitehead, PhD (research scientist) Author of the book My Genes Made Me Do It - a scientific look at sexual orientation (1999/USA; revised 2nd edition, 2010) and over 140 published scientific papers. The revised edition of My Genes Made Me Do It! takes account of research undertaken in the decade 2000 - 2010, which only serves to strengthen the book's original conclusions. The book takes a position based on an objective, orthodox and extremely comprehensive 20-year review of more than 10,000 scientific papers and publications on homosexuality. Neil Whitehead: PhD in biochemistry, 1971, New Zealand. Employed as a scientist with the NZ Govt (24 years), the United Nations (4 years), more recently a scientific research consultant. Neil Whitehead has lived and worked in New Zealand, India, the United States, France, Japan and Afghanistan. Briar Whitehead, B.A; Dip J (Journalist, writer & speaker) Editor of My Genes Made Me Do It! and author of Craving for Love (UK, 2003) Why? Our joint interest in homosexuality developed after we met numbers of people who said they had once been homosexual but weren’t any longer. This seemed at odds with the prevailing view that homosexuality was innate. We set about objectively investigating the causes of homosexuality, through careful analysis of the huge amount of scientific material available. Although the debate has now moved on to issues of tolerance and personal rights plenty of people remain confused or misinformed about the origins of homosexuality and unsure where to turn for unbiased information. We hope these research findings will be elucidating. They have tended to be used by people wanting to change their orientation because they show that the homosexual orientation is not innate.
