| As well as receiving DNA from its mother and father, an embryo would also include a small amount of healthy so-called mDNA from a woman donor |
Lawmakers
at the House Commons voted by 382 to 128 in favour of allowing the creation of
in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) babies with DNA from three people, a move aimed at
preventing serious inherited diseases being passed on from mother to child.
Under the
change to the laws on IVF, as well as receiving the usual "nuclear"
DNA from its mother and father, the embryo would also include a small amount of
healthy so-called mDNA from a woman donor.

"Families
who know what it is like to care for a child with a devastating disease are
best placed to decide whether mitochondrial donation is the right option for
them," said Jeremy Farrar, director of health charity Wellcome Trust.
"We
welcome this vote to give them that choice."
The bill is
expected to be rubber-stamped by the House of Lords, the upper chamber of
parliament, later this month, paving way for the procedure to begin next year.
The change
could apply to up to 2,500 women of reproductive age in Britain with hereditary
mitochondrial diseases but opponents say it opens the way to the possibility of
"designer babies" in future.
Mitochondrial
DNA (mDNA) is passed through the mother and mitochondrial diseases cause
symptoms ranging from poor vision to diabetes and muscle wasting.
Mitochondria
are structures in cells which generate the energy that allows the human body to
function.
Health
officials estimate around 125 babies are born with the mutations in Britain
every year.
'Invaluable choice'
The law
will allow Britain's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority to authorise
the procedure and a pioneering research centre in Newcastle is expected to be
the first where it would take place.
Genetic
disease charities celebrated the historic vote.
"We
have finally reached a milestone in giving women an invaluable choice, the
choice to become a mother without fear of passing on a lifetime under the
shadow of mitochondrial disease to their child," said Robert Meadowcroft,
Chief Executive of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.
John Tooke,
President of the Academy of Medical Sciences, said he was "delighted"
by the vote.
"These
treatments could reduce the number of children born with rare mitochondrial
diseases, and help dozens of families to lead happy and healthy lives.
"Today's
vote is the culmination of many years of scientific and public debate."
'Destructive manipulation'
But many
Britons are still against the proposed change despite years of consultation by
health authorities with the public and the scientific community.
A poll by
the ComRes market research agency in the run-up to the vote showed only 20
percent of respondents in favour of the change and 41 percent against, while 39
percent said they had no view either way or did not know.

| Britain on Tuesday became the first country in the world to allow the creation of babies with DNA from three people after MPs voted for the controversial procedure. |
Opponents
include scientists and religious leaders.
David King,
director of the watchdog group Human Genetics Alert, said: "If we want to
avoid the nightmare designer baby future we must draw the line here."
Josephine
Quintavalle from the pro-life organisation Comment on Reproductive Ethics said
there should be more focus on finding cures "which do not rely on
destructive manipulation of early human life".
The Roman
Catholic Church is firmly opposed to the move, pointing out that it would
involve the destruction of human embryos as part of the process.
The Church
of England has also said that ethical concerns "have not been sufficiently
explored".
There is
also concern on purely scientific grounds.
Justin St
John from the Centre for Genetic Diseases at Monash University in Australia
said the new IVF techniques required "further validation".
"It is
essential to analyse offspring to determine that no abnormalities appear at
least during early life," he said in a statement last week.

“… Biology and Intent
Let's talk
more about biology because now it gets a little more complex. There is an
intermingling of the 3D and the quantum that we wish to describe to you now.
It's something that is new, for the vibration of this planet and of humanity,
especially of those who are working with the light, is creating a new tool set.
You're going to start to see it and it's going to be visible through
examination of the 3D chemistry of DNA, even at the 3D level.
Science is
now looking at what they call markers in the protein-encoded DNA, which creates
the Human genes. These markers, as they are described by science, are those
that are the pieces and parts that would indicate predispositions - attributes
that might weaken certain cells so that later in life they would allow disease,
such as cancer. They're starting to see these markers, perhaps in certain
families where mothers and daughters and their daughters and their daughters
all had the same kind of disease. They're starting to see the genetic markers
that create predisposed weakness.
Let's talk
about the markers, for this is the first time we have disclosed this. First the
premise: For years we have told you that your intent to talk to your cellular
structure has power. This intent is your communication to the DNA field to
alter something within the 3D cellular structure. You might say it's your own
interdimensional "voice" giving instructions to the quantum part of
your DNA, which then results in the actual chemical changes that are occurring
in the codes within your 3D genome. But now the results are going to be seen,
and you can begin by removing the markers, and when you do, they stay removed.
This means that something quantum you do today can change the chemistry of your
gene-producing DNA so greatly that it will NOT be passed to your children. You
can break the chain.
Blessed are
the Human Beings who realize that as they purify their lives with the light of
the Creator, it will affect the biology of the protein-encoded parts. You can
erase the markers. It's one of the first times that the 3D has intermingled
with the quantum so that science can someday look at the same Human Being over
time, knowing that DNA never changes... yet it did! It's yours and it's unique
and you changed it. There will be no answer for them, but the 3D facts will
show it, that you eliminated the marker.
The joy of
this and the beauty of this is that the lineage of the young women who do this
will be shown, for their daughters will not have the disease, nor will the
daughters of their daughters. It's a new gift and reflects the power of the
times. Can you really change those who are your children-to-be? Indeed!
I know what
you are thinking. The crowd who sits here says, "Well, it's a little late,
Kryon. I've had my children. So why do you sit here and tell me these
things?" Are you not understanding where this message is going? Are you
not understanding the profundity of what happens when old souls allow us to
give this information to Earth? Do you not understand your energy has generated
the allotment of allowance for us to come in today and give you this, so that
young women and young men who are Lightworkers each will hear it and know what
it means to them? Do you understand you're your own ancestors? Has this
occurred to you? I see you as actual history, sitting in the chair, from all
over the world! That's what I wanted to tell you today.
You don't
each have one name to me. I don't even see the gender that you are. I see you
in a quantum state and that's why it's so profound that you would let us come
in and visit you in this fashion. The woman sits in the chair in front of me.
She has no idea the warrior she's been, or how big she was when she was a man.
Yet she carries around with her the feeling of the warrior and she knows she's
strong. I look at the big, burly man and I see the mother toiling with all
those children and the man knows it. He can feel it. He's sensitive and can
actually feel the love of a mother. Who is it he used to be? And how has it
affected him today?
Old soul,
it's affected you today because every single lifetime gives you layer upon
layer of wisdom. It has brought you to the chair today or reading this today.
For this is the lifetime where you have awakened and realized there is more, a
lot more. It brings you as a seeker to a place where you can say, "What
can I do for myself and the earth?"
I'll tell
you what you can do. You can become compassionate on this planet. You can walk
around and show your light on this planet. You can change the markers in your
own DNA! Think of who's listening to this message and what it might mean to
their children and their children's children. These are the tools we spoke of
so long ago, and the proof will come down the line of the reality of this
message.
All of this
that I have told you today is correct and real, and will be seen naturally in
its own way. But I wanted you to know the sacredness that is here within a
structure you thought was only chemical based. DNA is far larger and more
sacred than anyone has ever imagined.
So what are
you going to do with this information? Why don't you walk out of this place
different than you came in, feeling a little more enabled? Perhaps you will
feel a little better about the possibilities before you? Perhaps you might even
know that what happened today is real.
And so it is.
KRYON
