dominique: ^^^ Sorry, I'm not making any sense from your post, I can only draw conclusions from my own knowledge of genetics. The mitochondrion is the only organelle with its own DNA, hence the nuclei DNA does not influence it and vice versa.This is true. Nuclear DNA is clearly distinct from the mtDNA and replicates independently. And DNA is not found anywhere in the cell but in the nucleus and the mitochondria. But the question is, are we sure that DNA is the only carrier of genetic information and heredity? Are we sure that the science has progressed to the point when all the secrets of live are uncovered? I don't think so. And if there indeed exist other genetic carriers in the cell than nucleus and mitochondria, then they will be inherited from the 3rd parent as well as the mitochondria. dominique: The nuclei DNA is responsible for the phenotypic attributes living things in general (by this I mean features that can be seen physically eg complexion, height, etc).Phenotype is not only complexion, height etc. The fact that a person has (or hasn't) some particular disease is a part of the phenotype too. Therefore, by curing the Leigh's disease, the 3rd parent's mitochondria are indeed influencing the phenotype. dominique: Don't be surprised if the DNA of this offspring is extracted and tested and you'll find that of the 'third parent' missing. This is because the DNA will be extracted from the nucleus of the offspring,There are also mtDNA tests, and they will show without doubt the inheritance from the 3rd parent. |

dominique:As far as I understand the technology, it's not only the mtDNA from the third parent that gets incorporated into the embryo, but an entire egg in fact, apart from its nucleus. For all practical purposes, the child will come from the 3rd parent's egg - "flesh from 3rd parent's flesh". Who knows what information could a cell carry apart from the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA? One could speculate that the soul itself might be carried by a part of the cell not yet discovered. Or how about all the theories about the so called "genetic memory"? Should mere humans play God? dominique:I disagree. Correcting the disease is already a phenotypic effect by itself. dominique:I didn't say that the baby would be born female. I merely said that if it would be born female, she would pass her 3rd parents' cells (without the nucleus) to her children as well. And voila, we have a genetic hijacking. |

dominique: i don't think the child will have any physical or behavioural attributes of the 3rd parent since its only her mtDNA that is used. the innovation would have been extremely beneficial to the woman on this threadYet, one could argue that the child would be "flesh of the third parent's flesh" due to the fact that their cells would be identical apart from the tiny amount of DNA in the cells' nuclei, which would come from the first two parents. And moreover, if the child would be born female, she would pass these foreign cells to her kids as well. The moral consequences are mind-boggling, to say the least. |

"If the husband separates from his wife, he must not separate from her in the face." "and he must not break her bones, injure her, break her teeth, or poke her in the eye. (presumably while separating from her)" "If he separates from her to discipline her, he must not raise his hand high." "He must separate from her from chest level." "If he separates from her, the separation should not be hard, so that it does not leave a mark." "He can separate from her with a short rod." "All these things honor the woman." SMH 1 Like |

Foreign Affairs / Re: American Women Sentenced To Die At 16 To Be Released by makahlj2: 11:07am On Jun 18, 2013 |
bknight: A 16yr old stabbed an almost 80yr oldwoman 33 fvcking times? Got into trouble 23 times while in prison? I bet her sister was being sarcastic with her comment. A 16yr old isn't a 3yr old. 16yr definitely knew what death meant.I think you're wrong. Her sister didn't say that it wasn't a murder, nor did she try to mitigate the seriousness of this misdeed. While what this 15-year girl did was a really disgusting, heinous, evil crime, she served 30 years in prison for it. I fully agree that the society should give her an opportunity to redeem herself. While she has been sentenced, the prosecutor said that she was "a social misfit beyond any hope of rehabilitation". These are very evil words. NO CHILD HER AGE IS BEYOND ANY HOPE, NONE. |
