Your Opinion: Britain plays God with three-parent babies

Dear Editor:

I call your attention to the following Feb. 24 article: "Britain's House of Lords approves conception of three-person babies."(http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/feb/24/uk-house-of-lords-approves-conception-of-three-person-babies.)

Quotes from the article: "Britain has become the first country in the world to permit the use of "three-person IVF" to prevent incurable genetic diseases. The House of Lords voted by 280 votes to 48 on Tuesday evening to approve changes to the law allowing fertility clinics to carry out mitochondrial donation. Babies conceived through this IVF technique would have biological material from three different people - a mother, father and a female donor." "The "three-person" IVF therapy could help to eliminate mitochondrial diseases by swapping the affected mother's DNA with that from an anonymous female donor." "Around 100 children each year are affected by genetic defects in the mitochondria and in around 10 cases the defects cause severe illnesses such as liver failure, muscle wasting, blindness and brain damage."

Isn't it interesting that the legislation to allow same-sex marriage in England and Wales was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in July 2013?

Am I the only one who is thinking that there is possibly a connection between gays being allowed to marry and the progression to three-parent babies? I wonder if after the Supreme Court gets done forcing all the states to legalize gay marriage, whether in two years we Americans will see the legalization of three-parent babies?

After that, then what? How about the rich not having to worry about having what they consider an imperfect or undesirable offspring? How about a male sperm donor insisting on having a legal position on a lesbian couple's child? Why are we Christians allowing these over-educated liberal fools to play God? They seem to have no problem in possibly destroying future human families and personalities for their own self-gratification in seeing how far they can go. It sounds so wonderful to hear about the minute amount of good they would do but why is there so little concern about the unknown effect on the health and future of the entire human species?

To me it's obvious that the UK is the leading country in our world providing insight into our future if we don't start depending on God's lead instead of Satan's in the direction of America!
