G12:
Humans are passing the boundary. What's the point?

Did you actually read the report at all?

Lucifyre:
God of the gaps keeps shrinking everyday and would only get smaller.

What gap is here.

The bible says Knowledge will increase, using it for benevolent reasons is what was done here.

The white man making the world better by the day.

So, who becomes the real owner of these babies now? Confusion go dey no be small. I just the imagine how them go show you more than 2 people say them be your parents. 🤔

Wahala dey this world... Aswear 🙌😅

Olagbara oh, this wan pass miracle, I respect oyingbo,

Igbos are really wonderful.

From human production of sun,rain & thunderstorm.... Rite now humans av start producing humans in lab....Watin remain naw to produce LONG LIFE using stem cells,whereby humans will Neva grow old and die

Which malaria you dey fall sick from... 😒

Is malaria vaccine the same as messing with human DNA? From 2 parents to 3 parents? Abeg rest!

I am a scientist myself, so there's nothing right about such unethical human scientific experiments. If they cross monkey and human DNA tomorrow, you go clap for them abi.

Before them bring malaria vaccine, we no get herbs wey we dey drink wey dey even more potent than their yeye malaria vaccine? Common lemon grass and some few herbs would treat malaria better than some chemical drugs that make people weaker and kills the immune system.

The malaria meds you call vaccines are just prophylactics. They're NOT vaccines. They don't use your immune system to build resistance against malaria. With that said, I kind of understand your concerns for limits, but still limits could be subjective. That's why in this case not all countries have accepted it yet.

Oga rest! You too do. Oyinbo dey mix DNA, you dey talk about malaria 🦟 ... Shey na mosquito bite the pikin wey make am get 3 parents...

No vex me ooo 😒

No mind them...i no wan hear say another outbreak of disease come dey because of their yeye experiment

Confusionist... Destroyers... Haters of nature...!

Fourthpredator:
God of the gaps just means that the entity people call 'God' is used as an explanation for anything humans don't understand.
Like humans didn't understand thunder and lightning so they invented gods like Thor, Zeus etc, so as science and technology becomes better and better the things that 'God' will be used to explain will become smaller.
The results is that in the future you cannot use God to explain anything which will make God a fictional entity.
If I ask religious people why they think God exists, they will Tell us to explain sleep, life ,death etc and say that since we cannot explain those concepts God is the one controlling them, so once science can explain it then it means God will have no place to hide and can only be termed as a being that ignorant ancestors used to explain things beyond their current understanding.

Apt. Couldn't have said it better.

Not everyone takes a contradictory and inconsistent book written by ignorant people as gospel(pun intended). See Fouthpredator's comment.

BlackViper:
God of the gaps as a concept usually applies in discussions about evolution.
The problem is that it is actually evolution that is a stop gap solution to the problem of existence.

Evolution has nothing to do with "the problem of existence". It is also not a stop gap but literal fact supported by lots of evidence and the available data.

There ought to be a better way of headlining this than implying a genetic three some. Some of us don't want to hear that anymore, not in real life. Call it a mitochondrial DNA donation instead. And I don't think mitochondrial DNA donation would continue down the line of a family tree.

This is a good development. Thank you Jesus. Wish we can have access to this blessing.

I don't respect them at all. They create evil and problems by messing with nature. This creates a problem they don't foresee, they then labour to procure a "solution" to the problems they started in the first place and now put this "solution" up for sale to rip people off... Whether it's a real solution or not

HIV, COVID are examples.. GMOs are examples... Wicked generators of unnecessary stuffs.

Confused people causing confusion everywhere. Making an innocent baby to have 3 parents, how do they want such babies to write information on dad and mom?

The topic really misconstrue it's intention.


The child still has just two parent, the third is a mitochondria donor and not a parent technically.

most commenters did not really read and /or understand/digest the topic itself

It is called Gene Editing. Medicine has gone haywire and nuclear

Oyinbo people damaged their DNA to the point that they now need three parents for a baby to survive. SMH.

No be only god of the gaps, na god of the gafes.
A ngga once said, while younger, he thought someone made the piano but now grown up, he could explain how the piano works, so this shows that piano made itself, not by anyone. It's same way low-budget, atheist wannabes sound lame.
Superstition initially explained everything due to ignorance but now science explains things, fine. That only has everything to do with humans' flawed, slow understanding, it has nothing to do with the universe or it's maker.
From ignorance to superstition to slow understanding and now thinking that knowing how something works disproves its maker. From dvmb to dvmber. That's a lame, big L.

G12:
Humans are passing the boundary.

You meant limitation, this is advancing.

What's the point?

Already stated. To eliminate genetically inherited diseases in children for those who could afford it. Such diseases might have been already noticed in the mothers DNA

As long as those who are doing it know what they are doing, that shouldn't be termed "messing around with DNA".

No wahala. My own na say make pikin no come dey get dna from 2 mama, or 3 papa... cos na small small dem dey start.

GMO babies... 😏

Typical cristianese speak, whole lot of empty words just to say nothing. 😅 Didn't know you could disprove what has never been proven or demonstrated - that the universe has a "maker". Guess nairaland's resident genius taught me something today.

You just gave a perfect reply to yourself, or aren't you the same person shrinking the god of the gaps? And still the same who thinks understanding how something works means it has no maker?

Dolly sheep comes to mind.

The mind is the greatest weapon every created because anything you imagine can be done, later or sooner

There is nothing new under the sun. ... been there done that. But these are dangerous experiments that can get out of control and cause us harm. The experiment is conducted ...but possible outcomes and long term effects they don't know. "African bee/Killer bee" ... experiment out of control.... COVID-19...experiment out of control. Dolly the sheep ...sheep was born... then what?...it aged real quick and died of old age...did not live the normal lifespan ...GMO fruits ...same results ....break down quickly into a pool of liquid. Those little dogs...poodles? ... not natural ... the ones that will fearlessly attack any animal ...pit bulls ...even a lion it will attack. They have no fear... it's absent. From experience and observation...they know to launch an attack.... growling and everything..it when they get to you ...they don't know what to do ... would not bite . What will this baby be like? ... no soul?...a cold blooded killer? ...and make heartless children? Not because we can do something mean we should do it.... especially when we don't know the consequences.

Like I said, I guess nairlands resident genius taught me something impossible today. lol!

Well, I don't think so.
In the first place, if you ever had the ability to learn or be taught, you wouldn't have thought our better understanding of how the universe works shrinks it's maker.

Ah yes! Our better understanding wouldn't shrink the universe's "maker" - when the universe has never been demonstrated to have one - nor shrink the maker's maker nor the maker's maker's maker... ad infinitum. Quite a valauble lesson.

Hmmm, this is deep.
True, my posts have never been demonstrated to have someone behind them, just random texts appearing under your mention. Now, that's some next level discovery.
Perhaps, noone even designed the web, no one behind anything. Everything just happening all by itself because they needed to.
You're really hitting on some fundamental truths here Stephen Hawking. I feel you.

Lol! This is the kind of amazing false equivalence only a true genius could come up with. "My social media post has an author, so the universe must have a cosmic content creator." Truly bulletproof logic, savant sir.

Because obviously, a human-built, documented, and publicly maintained system like the internet, created by people we literally know by name and have interviewed, is abs totally the same as the universe, which has… none of that. No observable creators, no manual, no GitHub repo in the sky, and sadly, no LinkedIn profile. Wow!

But wait o it must be true because a contradictory and inconsistent book written by illiterate desert peasants with no clue to how the world works, from the most primitive part of the world tells me so. Ergo, it is. AMazing! 😁

Next you’ll tell me gravity was invented by Apple because your iPhone falls when you drop it. Your genius is beyond me, kind sir. I'm taking notes. Actually… now that I think about it, like the web, shouldn’t we have creators instead of a creator? I want to learn.
