Diversity in Comics

In comics, the X-men are often used as a metaphor for diversity in the real world. They are mutants, and just happened to be born with a different gene. The X-men are different because of how they were born. They didn't have a choice. This is just like being a different skin tone or gender. It's not chosen by you.

In the movie X-Men: The Last Stand, they take a popular comic storyline and bring it to the movie screen. A drug is created that can suppress the gene that makes them different from everyone else. The company markets it as a "cure". Should a person be able to change things about themselves to make themselves the same as everyone else?
