An interesting news story: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2016/09/28...eople.html

For the first time in history, a child was born by using the DNA of three separate individuals. The procedure took place in Mexico. Here’s an overview:

The child was at risk of inheriting a severe neurological disorder called Leigh syndrome, which typically kills individuals within a few years of birth...In using DNA from three individuals, researchers were able to remove some of the mother’s DNA from an egg and leave out the disease-causing DNA. The healthy DNA was slipped into a donor’s egg, which was then fertilized. Thus, the child inherited DNA from his two parents and the egg donor.



Apparently, this procedure is blocked in the US. The article states that the procedure is “controversial,” but doesn’t explain why. It seems to be a miracle cure (removing diseases before they manifest); however, there must be some bioethical issues involved.

Any thoughts?

Edit:: read about it here this morning: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/...ew-8924280

Stopped reading at the part where it says the parents are muslim, damn these fuckers are really determined at breeding us out of the UK.

Funny how the muzzies are taking advantage of this technology when they all support dragging us back to the 1st century.

I can understand why for the syndrome - but if it ain't broke don't fix it.

This is really weird for me to say since I'm not really a godly person but, they shouldn't be playing god with something that doesn't need modification.

Biology for millions of years has ALWAYS determined the outcome of life.

If their DNA was defective, why did they persist in having kids biologically?

Nothing good can come of this.

There are to many ways these days to fool natural selection without an actual improvement of evolution. Instead of rising mankind to glory there is an expansion downfall.

New Scientist reported that the baby, a boy, was born five months ago to Jordanian parents. The child was at risk of inheriting a severe neurological disorder called Leigh syndrome, which typically kills individuals within a few years of birth.

In other reports I read that the mother lost multiple children to Leigh syndrome before that. Didn't keep them from trying apparently.

Here's the deal: Incest

Percentage of consanguineous marriages in Jordan: Up to 63%.

Quote:

The child was at risk of inheriting...Leigh syndrome

From the link:

Quote:

In a study from Jordan, the consanguinity rate among parents of those affected with autosomal recessive conditions was around 85%, while it was 25-30% among parents of those affected with other genetic conditions such as X-linked recessive, chromosomal and autosomal dominant

Oh well...

Next up, homo couples use this technique to get 'their' child with the help of a donor woman in India. Bet on it.

Guys,

This technology is being used to stop recessive genetic disorders in the mother, passed down through mitochondrial DNA, from being potentially passed down to the offspring, and then later to their offspring.

These disorders can be fatal.

If they've tried multiple times, shouldn't they stop trying ? Or adopt ?

Agreed we are, but I'm talking micro, not macro.

I just think it's a bad idea combining 3 DNA's into one.


I absolutely get WHY they're doing it, it's a noble idea.

Ethical ? That's controversial.

[H1N1]

To me this is unbelievably awesome. No one wants stupid, ugly, or defective children. I have so much hope and excitement for what this might mean for my children. I'm going to make an eye watering amount of money, and raise a fucking army of highly intelligent, handsome, charming and healthy male children who are going to troll the shit out of all these Year Zero types, and bang their slutty daughters. I'm excited for the kids of the future, they are going to have a great time - I hope it comes about soon enough that I get to see it.

If you want to see the worst out of this then yes, it is a disaster for ethical biology. For those who don't want to pass on their genetic disorders it is a godsend and the human race could be rid of its genetic flaws.

But then who determines where the line stops? It becomes an arms race.

I just googled the doctors fertility clinic in NYC. It looks like he's making the big bucks.

Its right by central park, and the pictures show a huge salt water fish tank in the waiting room. The website leads you to believe they cater to the Chinese. It keeps trying to translate, and all the employees are Chinese. Don't they try to always have boy babies over there?

It looks like he's got about ten doctors working for him. Here's the goofiest looking two:



That guy is a coked up pervert.



You don't want the doctor to make that face when he's staring into your wifes vagina.

Aloha!

Whether it's ethical or not, the first major nation to embrace this technology and streamline it until it becomes something out of the movie GATTACA will become the next superpower of the world.

[ball dont lie]

Pretty soon wall victim NY hogs will be suckering in 4-5 cucks to use all their genetic powers to create one baby with her. Then she can get a feminist judge to mandate that they ALL must give her child support. Easy pickings.

India Plans Surrogacy Ban for Foreigners, Same-Sex Couples

Quote:

NEW DELHI (AP) — The Indian government plans to ban foreigners, single parents and gay couples from using India's surrogacy services under a proposed law intended to protect poor women from exploitation.

Only infertile couples who have been married for at least five years could seek a surrogate, who must be a close relative, Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said Wednesday.

"There will be a complete ban on commercial surrogacy. Childless couples, who are medically unfit to have children, can take help from a close relative, in what is an altruistic surrogacy," Swaraj said at a news conference in New Delhi.

The bill does not say which relatives are close enough to be considered as potential surrogates. The proposed law will soon be introduced in Parliament, where the governing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party commands a majority in the lower house.


Gay couples, single parents and foreigners would not be allowed to hire Indian women as surrogates under the proposed law, which would have to be passed by both houses of parliament to become law.

Over the past few years, India has become a popular destination for people wanting to have children using surrogate mothers, partly because its doctors and clinics broker the service at relatively low cost.

But many of the women are paid a pittance of the money that is paid to clinics by anxious couples yearning to have a child.

Swaraj cited past cases where a couple took home one child from a twin birth or a couple left a disabled baby with the surrogate. "The law would stop such unethical practices," Swaraj said.

That's a nice way of saying the kickback prices are going up.
