SabreFan1 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Pretty cool and interesting. By using a third person's healthy DNA, a healthy baby is born to a mother with damaged gene for a fatal syndrome that she passes on to her offspring who end up with the active gene. In essence, you create a baby with 3 parents by using some cloning technology with a twist. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/baby-born-using-three-parent-technique-doctors-say-n655701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 2 mothers, 1 father. It's not only going to be used for medical purposes. Lesbians will be demanding that it become legal in the US soon enough so they can have a biological child. Until then, all they'll have to do is go to Mexico to have the procedure.

Pfffff science 19 minutes ago, SabreFan1 said: 2 mothers, 1 father. Damn straight. ------------------------------------------------ It's interesting though how they were able to locate and remove one portion of one of the mom's faulty genes was able to be completely replaced by a healthier/non faulty version. Also interesting is that her desire to procreate was so compelling that she overcame "four pregnancy losses and two deceased children at age 8 months and 6 years from Leigh syndrome" I don't even know what to say to that, other than you weren't meant to have kids. Besides that, I'm fascinated by the science fiction aspects of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Glad I'm not alone in the "seriously? F$#%ing Darwin, people...wth?!" There is no way this should be happening. Genetic manipulation of a human is so inherently wrong it makes me want to puke. If you have a horrible disease, don't have kids, you've been aware of it for long enough to know you can't, so get over it. Just like everyone else in the world that has the same horrible disease...DOESNT HAVE KIDS! Let's prop up the whiny weak links with our miss guided science because we can. Yay! And all at the same time, let's ignore sound science: "evolution" ... and allow inferior genes to be manipulated so the rich, entitled Kardashian asshats of the world can have test tube babies. Gross. I bet that kid is gonna suck so bad at hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
