Melas syndrome is one disease transmitted through the maternal mitochondrial DNA that might be prevented with bio-engineering using one father but two mothers (one providing the Nuclear DNA and the other providing the Mitochondrial DNA found in the cell). However, doctors who do these genetic manipulations are quick to urge an abortion if an unborn baby is found to be defective or if too many eggs develop in the uterus necessitating "fetal reduction" or the killing of the unborn babies in the womb. In some cases, "fetal reduction" or "selective abortion" has lead to the death of all the babies in the womb as the womb becomes poisoned or contaminated.

If genetic modification of infants is allowed as men play God, what other modifications will be allowed in the future?
Come Lord Jesus and save us.
