Dozens of Genetically Modified Babies Already Born?
"The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics... Fifteen of the children were born... as a result of one experimental program at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey.
The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes from a female donor were inserted into their eggs before they were fertilized in an attempt to enable them to conceive.
Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm that they have inherited DNA from three adults—two women and one man."

In my experience, those who are unable to conceive should NEVER have been parents!
1) my biological mother was unable to have any more children after me. I thank God & Goddess every day that my maternal grandparents raised me. My biological mother raises paranoid and anxious DOGS, I can not imagine what she would do to a human being!
2) my ex husband was adopted by a childless couple who should have remained that way! AFTER they messed him up, they signed a PINS petition against him, and had him placed in a " home for wayward boys" on his 10th birthday! Way to go mom & dad!
3) my biological cousin's adoptive parents tried to "give her back" to her biological parents when she was 14. They had the sit down meeting with the biological parents IN FRONT OF MY COUSIN. It was a "closed adoption"....one that my aunt's husband knew nothing about... Needless to say, it was like opening Pandora's box.
4) my neighbor's son is a convicted sex offender. Thankfully, he lives three towns away. He and his wife are having difficulty getting pregnant. They have been pestering my neighbor for money for fertility treatments. He was convicted of molesting 4and 5 year olds! Both boys, and girls! Should HE be a parent?

This is just SOME of what I have witnessed...are there positive examples? I'm sure there are, but there HAS to be a better screening process! Are there parents who have no difficulty having babies that are unfit? Absolutely! The whole subject is kinda like dividing by zero! There s no solution
"These are the first reported cases of germline mtDNA genetic modification which have led to the inheritance of two mtDNA populations in the children resulting from ooplasmic transplantation. These mtDNA fingerprints demonstrate that the transferred mitochondria can be replicated and maintained in the offspring, therefore being a genetic modification without potentially altering mitochondrial function."
It's relevant to understand that these children have inherited extra genes—that of TWO women and one man—and will be able to pass this extra set of genetic traits to their own offspring. One of the most shocking considerations here is that this was done—repeatedly—even though no one knows what the ramifications of having the genetic traits of three parents might be for the individual, or for their subsequent offspring.
