Scientists "create" human embryo with three parents
Scientists believe they have made a potential breakthrough in the treatment of serious disease by creating a human embryo with three separate parents.
The Newcastle University team believe the technique could help to eradicate a whole class of hereditary diseases, including some forms of epilepsy.
The embryos have been created using DNA from a man and two women in lab tests.
It could ensure women with genetic defects do not pass the diseases on to their children.

What would Jesus say ?
What would he have said about eating meat on Friday,
or about planets revolving around the sun, or organ
transplants ?
It is obvious to know what he would say in retrospect,
but not so at the time.
UNTIL WE SEE THESE CHILDREN, THIS IS ALL HOPE AND SPECULATION. THE BIBLE SAYS: “IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED . . .” THERE IS NO OTHER CREATOR.
I don’t think Jesus would change the way he created childbirth and the family unit. So far scientist trying to “improve” creation has only created more problems.
God created the Heavens and the Earth and all that is within. God is God there is no other, For man to play with the work of God, will only mean trouble and consequences in the end.
