I don't think you have addressed all the concerns in the article. You say
>4. This law will allow some kids to have a normal metabolism and a normal life. Nothing more. Nothing less.
But the objection of Dr. Morrow is that the procedure may have risks for the children involved (and their children also). Whenever there are risks as well as benefits, there needs to be a discussion as to what is ethical.
- fasteo 12y agoFair enough, and I agree with Dr. Morrow. My post was more about not confusing "à la carte" kids with mitochondrial DNA manipulation. I have read too many articles that fall into the "blonde, blue eyes and smart kids" category. This law is not about this at all.
- QuantumChaos 12y agoagreed, I would characterize the procedure as a medical treatment of a disease, so put that way I agree with your point 4.
