| | | Creating life with IVF using 3 donors
The UK has just aproved the manipulation of parents' DNA to remove the chance of producing a child with a severe genetic disease, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23079276 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_disorders
If this procedure is well regulated I am happy with the idea. I prefer to achieve a healthy birth than a disabled child. One woman on BBC TV had given birth to 6 babies that died soon after birth, and one child that was severely handicapped and died aged 21.

I did look, first - I promise Science takes over from genetics - babies can now have three parents
Thread merge, or something, required.

Because having two parents to nag you about homework/boyfriends/untidy rooms is just not enough...  | | The following 6 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

Because we are so lacking in homosapien on this planet that we need to go to any extremes to make more.

Ah yeah! Let's get rid of all those unwanted traits!
It's not a brave new world at all, it's just the same shitty, ducked up one it always was.
