Have you ever wondered why bulls are all one colour (usually black) whilst the cows have that typical cow pattern ?
Have you ever wondered why women are more prone to things like arthritis, esp when pregnant
and that's all I am going to say on the subject

This was some top-secret genetics work done at Porton Down in the '80s to breed a soldier of sub-human intelligence but enormous strength and ensurance. Unfortunately, despite an encouraging start, it went terribly wrong.
The idea had been to create a hulking cyborg titan, who would start attacking all and sundry with a gatling gun under each arm, on receipt of the code word "cretin". But the result was a 5'11'' 12 stone weakling who could barely lift a .22 rifle.
The units were recycled, but there were rumours at the time that one managed to escape. This seems unlikely, but we won't know for sure until the papers are released in 2100.

What, you mean based on the subject matter, no one here is going to start talking about whether Gattica was a good film or not?

On one hand I don't like "Frankenstein science".
On the other, imagine if scientists could identify the sasguru gene and eliminate that from society - how wonderful would that be?
Where it would get iffy is if two parents contribute the nucleus DNA and a third parent provides a complete set of mitochondrial DNA, which does contribute substantially to someone's unique identity.

The three parent babies will have a proper mum and dad. The third parent is being used to ensure invalid DNA is removed to ensure genetic defects aren't inherited.
Hence there are ethical issues but they have nothing to do with same sex couples, surrogacy or sperm donors. Although we really have to congratulate the Mail journalist for getting virtually every Daily Mail pet subject in a single story. They do however seem to miss the house prices of the participants so its not perfect.
