Baby Born Using 'Three Parent' Technique


SabreFan1

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

People have been having threesomes for ages and now science wants to claim they invented it? Pfffff science

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.

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.

Have you seen Gattaca? I personally prefer good old fashioned threesomes and natural selection, but hey, it's the dawn of a new era.
