BABIES WITH TWO MOTHERS, IS IT WRONG?
Last March the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of Saint Barnabas in West Orange, New Jersey, reported in the Journal of Human Reproduction in the paper: “Mitochondria in human offspring derived from ooplasmic transplantation: Brief communication,” that they had produced 16 babies that had two biological mothers and that here already 30 worldwide. This information caused concern in the medical community because it implicated the modification of the human genome. Before discussing the implications of this fact, let me tell you why and how it was done.

MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
In November of 1998 two separate American teams announced an extraordinary breakthrough. One was led by Dr. James Thomson from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the other by Dr. John Gearhart from John Hopkins University. Both teams managed, for the first time, to isolate and to grow indefinitely in the lab human embryonic stem cells (SC). They are the progenitor cells for all specialized cells and, in consequence, capable of producing all the different organs of the body and, thus, having the potential of extending your lifetime.

Some Causes Of Infertility Can Be Prevented
Some causes of infertility can be prevented before they happen. While some groups of people are more likely to suffer from infertility, there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risks. Life style changes including the use of proper birth control can prevent the transmission of STDs, which can lead to infertility if not treated, smoking can lead to decreased fertility, and hot tubs can sterilize a man temporarily.
