I say go for it. They’re trying to stop genetic disorders, not trying to make humans that don’t bruise as easy or have a longer shelf life.
Correcting sections of DNA that could be responsible for genetic disorders certainly seems to fall under the “healthcare” umbrella to me.
SOMEHOW I READ EMBRYOS AS EYEBROWS
there’s already a Prince of Petworth with a great neighborhood blog
OKAY - I looked up the complaint online. Apparently this all started because she filed a complaint against the entire Georgia Department of Corrections, the County of Gwinnett, the State of Georgia and a bunch of individual police officers for arresting her husband (which she refers to as kidnapping). She also alleges…
Come to think of it, he missed a pretty golden opportunity to call his endeavor “Princes of Petworth.”
Yeaaaah Petworth!
Because believe it or not, Jezzies don’t usually hate people based on race/sex/occupation. They hate them for what they do and say. And what he’s doing and saying right now is actually pretty cool.
Ugh. When he was on the Council, he was all about NIMBY-ism for people who didn’t want any more bars or restaurants along the U Street corridor (what, pray tell, are you planning on putting there? Another overpriced home goods store?) and took pains to fight former Mayor Gray’s efforts to push a later closure time for…
Lol! Parenting is hard. No one is denying that it’s a pain in the ass to do stuff like make an extra trip across the parking lot when your kid is melting down. Unfortunately, parenthood is not a free pass to make the entire world around you cater to your needs and pick up your slack.
At least she got paid!
I definitely don’t have angels. Putting your cart away is just one of those things that you do as a considerate member of society even when it’s not convenient for you. I have plenty of shit that is difficult to do with a screaming kid but I don’t really have a choice. I live in a third floor walk up and have to make…
I think it’s very, very unlikely for most of them, but there’s always that small chance that you have a cut in your mouth or something. Also, if there’s a good chance you’ve been exposed to HIV, can’t you limit the chances you’ll develop the infection by immediately taking drugs? Source: That episode of Law and Order:…
They’re shielding the identity of the child for his privacy, but you know, its not out of the question that this child does have developmental disabilities. Lots of kids do. It’s also possible he was acting on a dare, was bullied into doing it, or all kinds of other things. I don’t really see the point in scrutinizing…
As a hypochondriac with pretty severe OCD, this would be my worst nightmare. I’d have to just throw out the kid and get a whole new one.
My kid (oldest girl child) was eating bugs for $$ during 3rd grade. Never say “my kid wouldn’t”.
