Yikes.
And yikes again.
All it takes is 3 sets of DNA...read this Yahoo! News coverage.
Brit researchers, funded by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, are using intentional genetic engineering processes to selectively breed out defective mitochondria, in other words, potential handicaps/diseases such as epilepsy, strokes, MR, and muscular dystrophy.
But it's all ok, because they're not touching the nucleus, where "most of the genes that make you who you are" are located.
I feel better already. A retake on the tired old tabula rosa debate for the next generation.
