Hi Dad, Mom, Mom
“embryos have been created using DNA from a man and two women in lab tests in UK.
The technique is intended to help women with diseases of the mitochondria - mini-organs that are found within individual cells. They are sometimes described as cellular power plants because they generate most of the cell's energy. Faults in the mitochondrial DNA can cause around 50 known diseases some which lead to disability and death.
About one in every 6,500 people is affected by such conditions, which include fatal liver failure, stroke-like episodes, blindness, muscular dystrophy, diabetes and deafness.
At present, no treatment for mitochondrial diseases exists.
Within hours of their creation, the nucleus, containing DNA from the mother and father, was removed from the embryo, and implanted into a donor egg whose DNA had been largely removed.
The only genetic information remaining from the donor egg was the tiny bit that controls production of mitochondria - around 16,000 of the 3billion component parts that make up the human genome.
The embryos then began to develop normally, but were destroyed with six days.
Mrs Quintavalle said embryo research in the US using DNA from one man and two women was discontinued because of the ‘huge abnormalities’ in some cases.”
How ethical of them to destroy embryos.
So what is this? One good copy and a bunch of bad ones. Another good one and a bunch more bad ones. Finalllly an other good one and a whole bunch of bad ones. Huh! Science is having sooooooo very much trouble making it work but evolution did it no problem – just a little time. They really expect me to believe that ? ? ?
