Personally, while I understand the risks and concerns, I am all for using this technology to help prevent genetic diseases from affecting our children. Mr. BallofStress and I wanted to have another child, but I was diagnosed with a genetic condition that has a 50-50 chance of being passed on and there is currently no…

People are going to design smarter babies...by using someone else's NADH dehydrogenase?

I truly hope that we would not refer to any baby whose future DNA was altered pre-conception as a "designer baby". That's just as offensive as referring to children born with the aid of IVF as "test tube babies". Let's not forget that at the end of the day you're still talking about a person, regardless of how they…

I don't know all the lyric to all the songs in The Little Mermaid, but I do know the lyrics to "Poor, Unfortunate Souls"… BECAUSE URSULA!

Don't worry, Matt Damon, eventually your daughters will move on to better Disney movies like Mulan.

I can't help anyone who doesn't understand the divide between the editorial and advertising sides of the media they consume.

Just bring back Apt 23 ABC!!!

I won't lie, I'm still really enjoying KimKierkegaardashian. https://twitter.com/KimKierkegaard

Um, what? All kids are vaccinated for polio. It's required to put your kid in school unless you have a religious or medical exemption.

And it could never have been done without the invention of the blender.

Anti-vax folks are idiots, but that's not really possible. We'd be seeing cases of regular polio in the area, and there are NONE. US sewage is tested very regularly to search for poliovirus, and there hasn't been ANY in years and years (decades I think).

It's possible, I guess, that one specific unvaccinated child went…

This baby will never be sick. A filthy sidewalk in NYC has fortified this child's immune system to levels never seen before.

I think you're thinking of smallpox? My 8 month old has been vaccinated against polio. It's still very much around.

Children are still routinely vaccinated for polio in the U.S. unless their families opt out or they are medically unable.

Ooh, I hope there will be a follow-up parenting guide - something along the lines of Fuck Everybody Else's Children: How to Get the Best for Your Special Snowflake, Regardless of the Cost to Society.

And that's when he thought "Glad I didn't order the Happy Meal."

He took a job, and while part of said job is probably spreading good cheer about the product, I don't get this, "Well, he gets rich and lives this dream life with money and access, so therefore, we should be able to extract our pound of flesh whenever we want."

Made up on the spot for me specifically. It speaks to the fact that I'm bi, but reap basically all the benefits of straight privilege because just about everyone assumes I'm straight.

Yep! She and Frank are both sociopaths! That's why their marriage is so strong! Watching them on this show like watching snakes take human form or something. It's fascinating/mesmerizing.

Donate the ivory to a traveling exhibition on poaching. It could be a whole "Is it work it?" section. Also, establish traveling exhibition on poaching. I will design. You're welcome.
