I am not sure why you are telling me these things about you which are NOT really related to the actual questions that I am asking you I think the answers I gave are directly related to the questions you were asking so we have a difference of opinion here but this is fine The real question is why ar...

Furthermore, other than the mind’s** control over the body’s musculature and thus its movements... ...whatever changes that are taking place with respect to the physical body are under the purview and guidance of the programming implicit within the body’s DNA structures and have nothing to do with ...

To me a being is a set of interacting minds I cannot understand how a thing which has no structure can hold information A being only requires one mind not many [ do you know of anything that exists that actually has more than one mind ] Yes, human has many minds. Have you ever wondered that a mind ...

Fair point... but ... does the labelling of such acts as immoral actually benefit anyone?
