Food and Drug Administration panel is focused on a procedure that scientists think could help women who carry DNA mutations for conditions such as blindness and epilepsy.
The process would let them have children without passing on those defects. government advisory committee began debating a new technique that combines DNA from three people to create embryos free of certain inherited diseases
The technology involves taking defective mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouses, from a mother’s egg and replacing them with healthy mitochondria from another woman.
After being fertilized by the father’s sperm in a lab, the egg would be implanted in the mother, and the pregnancy could progress normally.
The FDA’s announcement several months ago that it would hold a public hearing on the subject elicited an outcry from scientists, ethicists and religious groups, who say the technology raises grave safety concerns and could open the door to creating “designer” babies, whose eye color, intelligence and other characteristics are selected by parents.

so is this a slippery slope? Or is it just a" better baby?"
Heya AT. :2wave: These people in Oregon now want to do this. The major concern would be designer babies.
My thought is.....they say they wouldn't do so. Yet if we have such a capability. Then the questioned should be asked to those doing this. Why wouldn't you? Especially knowing you could make a human from scratch to be faster, and stronger, and in essence superior to any Human born naturally.

I'm absolutely against it. We live in a Corporate world and the next step would be to create good worker babies for the labor force. No way. If it can be corrupted, it will definitely be corrupted in the good ol' USA. "What's good for business is good for America," that old Republican mantra. The key word is "business."

It's an exciting step on the road to real gene engineering and an extension of our control over nature. We should never fear the designer baby--embrace it!
I'd just like to add that "Eugenics" movements have been advocated by Adolph Hitler, Henry Ford, David Rockefeller, and GHW Bush. Why is it that the rich people want to promote this? Oh wait, a thought has manifested; could they see themselves as survival of the fitest because of their great wealth. Fittest for Corporatism, and let's cull the defectives, eh?
The Nazis would have loved this.

...so? I'm sure they would have loved Fusion too but it doesn't mean the technology is Nazified. Good grief.
Let me clarify:
The Nazis would have loved this for reasons of their evil ideology.
This is great for women and lawyers, they find two male suckers to donate sperm then hit them with paternity suits. Wow, two checks in the mail every month for 18 years.

Yeah! Those gold-digging whores! Women, I tell you.
