Babies born in UK using DNA from three people and merging two embryos into one
Eight babies created using the DNA from three adults have been born in the UK. The technology, Mitochondrial donation treatment (MDT), was created to avoid mitochondrial disease in children — but it destroys the lives of two human beings. MDT involves removing the nuclei out of a zygote (embryo) and using them as replacements for the nuclei in another zygote. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of cells, but they also affect a person’s personality, mental health, and longevity. The eight children were reportedly born ‘healthy,’ but some have developed minor health conditions that may or may not be a result of their conception. The long-term risks of MDT are unknown.
WHO estimates 73 million unborn babies aborted every year—but nobody knows for sure

This means that under Kim Leadbeater’s Bill, the deaths of those who die by assisted suicide would not be automatically referred to a coroner, as is normally required in cases of “unnatural deaths” or those caused by the administration of drugs.
Young Men Are Returning to Church
There is growing evidence of a “quiet revival” of Christian belief among Gen Z men.

Last year, a survey by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 39% of Gen Z women identify as religiously unaffiliated, compared with just 31% of men.

How Obergefell Harmed Children
Marriage, as I argued, has always served a vital function: binding children to their biological mothers and fathers whenever possible. The government’s interest in marriage has never been about adult companionship. That is because the state generally has no interest in regulating when human relationships begin or end, whether that be a friendship or a romantic partnership. Marriage is the exception.
