Three-Parent Embryo Developed

British scientists claim to have created an embryo with genes from three people. What do you think?

Asian Man

Michael Hartman,
Millwright
"What? A conception that strays from traditional heterosexual marital union? Where's my congressman?"

Old Man

Ethan Richards,
EMT
"God, I hope the three British people weren't all from the royal family."

Old Woman

Emma Morganstern,
Physical Therapy Aide
"So what? A lot of people already have three parents. My own daughter has blue eyes like her one daddy, and she likes to stay up late and bounce checks at the liquor store just like the other."
