I have some questions about this procedure. Do the women who donate the eggs know that those eggs will be fertilized and the resulting baby discarded? Also is there a problem with rejection when the couple's baby is moved into the empty egg shell? Is it possible that some of the "bad" mitochondria could be transferred with the embryo baby? It is always good to think about these things and their implications and not to accept what the scientist says simply because they are scientists. Scientists are fallible people like the rest of us and often over step the mark of what is acceptable to God. Scientists are often motivated by what acclaim they can have, rather than what is ethical. It is the law of God that matters not the ethics of a secular society.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
