I Thought Dinosaurs Were Extinct

I watched a lot of the debate the so-called three parent babies and am very pleased that the House of Commons voted in favour. The debate is covered fully in this article on the BBC web site.

I saw several men and no women put up ridiculous arguments as to why they were voting against. Several of these dinosaurs are listed as Roman Catholic on Wikipedia.

But David Willetts, Liz McInnes and Jane Ellison amongst others put forward sane arguments that carried the day.

No MP has any business to use principles of his or her religion to legislate for others in the UK, who do not share their faith.

So if a Jewish or Muslim member, wants to bring in a bill banning the eating of pork in the UK, they should have no right.

I am old enough to remember the birth of Louise Brown; the world’s first IVF baby.  We look at IVF as commonplace and Robert Edwards won a Nobel Prize for his work in the field, but at the time it was controversial.

I believe that in a few years time, this technique, which is being developed at Newcastle University, will also enter the mainstream too.
