In [[ethics]], thought experiments are often used to exclude irrelevant details in order to effectively isolate the particular responses elicited by principles or ideas under scrutiny that should help to guide the [[behavior]] of [[human being]]s. The obtained implications can readily be applied to situations in real world.<ref>{{cite book |title=50 ethics ideas |author=Ben Dupré |publisher=Quercus Editions Ltd. |place=London |year=2013 |page=46 |isbn=978-1-78087-827-0 |url= }}</ref>

The notion of [[objective]] truth and reality about humans as two equal and complementary sexes —male and female — was recognized also by modern-day scientists in the form of pictorial message consisting in figures of a man and a woman engraveded onto gold-anodized plaques, which were placed on board the 1972 Pioneer 10 and 1973 Pioneer 11 [[spacecraft]]s, respectively.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Message from Earth |author=Sagan C., Sagan L.

Taking into account all known aspects and arguments, it makes sense to formulate the following postulate related to human beings and their institution of marriage: Humans consist of two equal and complementary sexes —male and female, meant for mutual married relationships that would promote childbearing. That does not necessarily mean that every person will be married, or that every married couple will have children, but that this is the normative, typologically functional, natural and proper setting for human sexual relationships.<ref>{{cite web |title= Gay ‘marriage’ and the consistent outcome of Genesis compromise |author= Jonathan D Sarfati |publisher=creation.com |date= June 30, 2012 |url= http://creation.com/gay-marriage-genesis-compromise}}</ref>

The actual thought experiment aiming to resolve this question consists in imagining a ''group of people'', a ''pattern'' subject of research, that would consider as ''normal'' and ''normative'' solely the [[homosexual]] behavior. If such norm would be applied onto all members of the ''tested group'', so that all of them would be ''"normalized"'' accordingly, the society that would adopt such twisted normative approach would simply ''die out'' or depend on ''unnatural methods'' of [[reproduction]].<ref>{{cite web |title=SODOM (documentary) |author=Arkady Mamontov |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usWLsblbFNU&feature=youtu.be&t=1092|pages=18min:14sec |quote=The Fertility Institute in L.A., this is the first clinic that offered the surrogacy to sodmites. |accessdate=14 Feb 2016}}</ref> The result of this [[experiment]] is predictable with ''absolute'' degree of certainty beyond any doubt. Same-sex relations are ''essentially'' sterile, intrinsically unfit for generation, while compatible opposite-sex relations are intrinsically generative and only ''accidentally'' infertile.
