Birth of the genetically modified HUMAN: Babies born with tweaked DNA could be in the UK next year

  • Parliament is poised to vote on whether a new form of IVF treatment, which uses DNA from three parents, will become legally available to couples

  • The complex technique would replace mitochondrial DNA to avoid destructive cell mutations

  • Mitochondrial DNA can contain mutations that can lead to epilepsy, diabetes, blindness and other medical problems

    Magazine Forbes: "The Era Of Genetically-Altered Humans Could Begin This Year"

    By the middle of 2014, the prospect of altering DNA to produce a genetically-modified human could move from science fiction to science reality.  At some point between now and July, the UK parliament is likely to vote on whether a new form of in vitro fertilization (IVF)—involving DNA from three parents—becomes legally available to couples. If it passes, the law would be the first to allow pre-birth human-DNA modification, and another door to the future will open.

    Magazine "Wired": Biometric Database of All Adult Americans Hidden in Immigration Reform

    La réforme sur l'immigration passe au Sénat


    The immigration reform measure the Senate began debating yesterday would create a national biometric database of virtually every adult in the U.S., in what privacy groups fear could be the first step to a ubiquitous national identification system.

    Buried in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation (.pdf)  is language mandating the creation of the innocuously-named “photo tool,” a massive federal database administered by the Department of Homeland Security and containing names, ages, Social Security numbers and photographs of everyone in the country with a driver’s license or other state-issued photo ID.
