Britain is on track to become the first country to permit "three parent" pregnancies, with the first tri-parental babies due to be born as early as next year. It sounds kind or creepy — or maybe a bit kinky — but the intriguingly polyamorous-sounding procedure is more DNA-swapping than wife-swapping.
Three-parent fertility treatment is a form of in vitro fertilization where a mother unable to have healthy children has the genetic information extracted from the nucleus of one of her eggs and combined with a donor's hollowed-out egg, which is fertilized by the father's sperm. Two mothers + one father = three parents.
The technique was developed so that women with mitochondrial diseases can have biological children. Only a tiny amount of the child's DNA would be from the third parent. Mitochondrial disorders passed down by affected mothers include fatal heart problems, muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, liver and kidney failure, brain disorders, and blindness.
Good intentions notwithstanding, the procedure is controversial. All procedures that involve messing with human reproduction are controversial, but throwing in a third biological parent muddies the ethical waters even further. CNN's Sanjay Gupta explains the controversy and the procedure:
Arthur Caplan, the New York University medical ethicist you're most likely to see quoted in any article on genetics, gives a qualified thumbs-up to the procedure. Thanks to Hollywood, people think "genetic engineering of animals or people is nothing but bad news," a sure path to eugenics and genetically created "perfect" babies, Caplan writes at NBC News. "But Hollywood is wrong," he adds:
The goal of the experiment in genetic engineering is not a perfect baby but a healthy baby. One in 4,000 children inherit terrible diseases due to genetic mutations in their mitochondria. The mitochondria are the batteries of cells. They provide the energy that lets cells divide and grow. All mitochondria are inherited from the mother — from her eggs. And, the mitochondria are separate, tiny units in the egg meaning you can pick them out and transplant them.... In my view, trying the technique to fix a terrible disease even with risks of failure makes ethical sense. [NBC News]
Caplan describes swapping an egg's mitochondria as giving the future baby "a new battery." The problem, he adds at CNN, is "what if you get past transplanting batteries and start to say, 'While we're at it, why don't we make you taller, stronger, faster, or smarter?'" The big question for the next 5 to 10 years is "how far do we go in pursuit of the perfect baby," he adds. "Do I think we're going down that road? Yes. Does it creep me out? Yes. Are you going to be able to draw a clear line? I don't think so."
And that's from somebody who thinks three-parent fertilization is worth trying out. There's always going to be a "slippery slope" question when we're meddling with human genetics — and where to draw the ethical boundaries is a question we should take seriously. In this case, there's also valid concerns about safety: Will swapping out an egg's batteries harm the resulting child? We won't really know until we try.
But these are the same kinds of questions we faced with in vitro fertilization 35 years ago, and more than 200,000 healthy babies have been born since, many of those to people who wouldn't otherwise have been able to be biological parents. There are still people who oppose IVF because they believe it's "playing God" to fertilize embryos in a petri dish, or — more commonly — because they believe human life starts at fertilization and IVF often creates more embryos than get implanted. For them, three-parent fertility is more of the same.
But there's something else going on. At the risk of setting up a straw man, here's the primary objection of Wesley J. Smith at National Review:
The purported reason for this approach is to enable women with mitochondrial disease — who would be the nuclear donors — to bear biologically related children. But you know it won't stop there. At some point, the process will be used to help, say, polyamorous threesomes or lesbian couples have children biologically related to all partners — that is to facilitate lifestyle desires, not prevent disease.... Isn't this the bane of our times! Just because a woman "wants" something, that doesn't mean we should turn ethics on its head so she can have it. [National Review]
Now, Smith brings up other points, too — the safety, the ethics of discarding fertilized eggs — but he keeps returning to that point: Three-parent fertilization is vaguely depraved and will quickly turn into a "lifestyle" procedure.
But that doesn't make sense. Who would go through a costly, invasive medical procedure to trade-up on mitochondrial DNA, even from — as Smith suggests — "beautiful and brilliant college women"? The only people this procedure is designed for are women who right now have the choice of not having biological children or taking a risk that their babies will have severe, even fatal, diseases. That's a pretty small number of women, but it's a pretty big deal for the families it affects.
In any case, we're likely to enter this brave newish world soon. On Thursday, Britain's Department of Health proposed new regulations that would allow three-parent fertilization in cases where there's a "significant risk" of passing on a mitochondrial disease. The proposals are open for public comment until May, and then Parliament can approve them (or not). Implementation will be up to the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is also weighing whether to allow mitochondrial transfers. An FDA advisory panel met Tuesday and Wednesday, without coming to any conclusions. But the United Kingdom will almost certainly get there first, for good or ill: The U.S. didn't approve IVF until 1981, three years after Britain's first "test tube baby" was born.

Rapper and actress Eve recently admitted that she's hoping to walk down the aisle with her British billionaire boyfriend Maximillion Cooper.
In an interview with Essence.com, the rapper discusses her career, love life and living in London. Check out the excerpts below:
ESSENCE.COM: Inquiring minds want to know: when's the new album coming out?
EVE: The album is coming out this year, for sure. It took a long time just because I wanted to make sure that it was perfect and right. I'm really happy with it. In fact, I'm more than happy with it – I love it!
ESSENCE.COM: Can we expect any surprises on Lip Lock?
EVE: You definitely will hear me evolve, and you will hear my growth. But, at the same time, I really wanted to bridge my core audience with where I am now. I didn't want anybody to feel like they were left out. And, I think I did that.
ESSENCE.COM: Musically speaking, what haven't you done yet that you're looking to do in the future?
EVE: My dream collaboration is with Lauryn Hill. Is that ever gonna happen? Who knows! But there's still a lot I feel like musically I could do.
ESSENCE.COM: What are you listening to right now?
EVE: I listen to every thing, all kinds of stuff. I've been obsessed with the Nas and Damian Marley record, Distant Relatives. I feel like a lot of people haven't heard it, and it's amazing.
ESSENCE.COM: Are you still happily in love?
EVE: I am, thankfully!
ESSENCE.COM: Will we hear wedding bells soon?
EVE: He better! (Big laughs.) Seriously! Ha! But, right now, we're really, really happy.
ESSENCE.COM: Where have you found the most inspiration?
EVE: Well, I've relocated to London, so right now it's London. I walk everywhere when I'm there. It's so eclectic. It's New York on steroids. There are so many cultures and sounds, and people and fashion. Chicks are so fly. I live in a neighborhood where there's a lot of West Indian culture, so it's nice. I have to always come back because my mother would kill me if I didn't, but right now that's where I'm at.
Congratulations Eve! Hopefully Max puts a ring on it soon — then you guys can have a double wedding with Joseline and Steebie!

Denver Broncos Showing Why They Should Be Super Bowl Favorites
If anybody questioned whether or not Peyton Manning's 2012 season was a fluke, the NFL's season opener assuredly nipped those concerns in the bud.
The Denver Broncos absolutely dismantled the Baltimore Ravens to the tune of a 49-27 score, which included zero field goals and zero rushing touchdowns from the Broncos. The team rode Manning's arm for seven touchdowns, two to Wes Welker, two to Julius Thomas, two to Demaryius Thomas and one to Andre Caldwell.
The defense played exceptionally well too, recording a blocked kick, an interception and four sacks. The sack totals are low, but that is because of Von Miller's six-game suspension. Last year, Miller had 18.5 sacks and when he comes back, Denver's defense becomes just that much better.
That same defense would have had a defensive touchdown as well, but Danny Trevathan dropped the ball just yards from the goal line after running back Joe Flacco's intercepted pass for 70 yards.
Offensively, Manning spread the ball around to seven different receivers, four of which were caught for touchdowns and seven of which caught for two or more passes. Manning was absolutely prolific in throwing for 462 yards and seven touchdowns. Save for a rocky first quarter, Manning was nearly perfect in the game and made zero mistakes when it counted most. He is just the sixth man in NFL history to throw for seven touchdowns in a single game.
While Manning's single-game performance is certainly one for the ages and likely won't be replicated this season, it shows just how dangerous the Broncos will be this season when the ball is in his hands. And the cast of characters he has around him make the sky as the limit for what Denver can accomplish this season.
The only one weakness that may have been exposed in Week 1 was the Broncos' lack of running game. In their run-by-committee style of offense, Denver's backs rushed for just 64 yards on 20 carries. But when the offense is led by Manning and an incredible tandem of weapons, Denver doesn't need to have a running game.
If they do develop one and Montee Ball pans out as expected, watch out, because the Broncos have a pretty soft schedule and could even go undefeated this season. Yes, it is just one game, but after a performance like this, there is no way not to say that the Broncos should officially be considered the Super Bowl favorites.

OK Kindergartner Forced to Turn College Shirt Inside Out
There's a buzz around the schools in Oklahoma's capital city, a controversy brewing over the decision to force a kindergartner to turn his t-shirt inside out because it supported a popular, legitimate college.
FOX News Radio's Chris Hoenig explains:
Audio clip:
The 5-year-old's shirt didn't have any threatening messages or racy images, though it did have a wolverine…a University of Michigan wolverine. Oklahoma City Public Schools have banned all apparel supporting pro sports teams and out-of-state college teams since 2005 because of concerns about gangs representing themselves with sports clothing. Some aren't so sure:
(Parent) "I don't think that wearing a different team's shirt is gonna disrupt class any more than an OU or an OSU shirt would."
The school district says they'll review the policy, which some parents do back.
(Parents) "If they set the rule, I think that we need to abide by that.//They don't need to wear superhero costumes to school, and Harley t-shirts and things like that. They don't need that."
Chris Hoenig, FOX News Radio.

Julie Bowen interview: A thoroughly modern Mrs
In 'Modern Family' Julie Bowen has one of the best comic roles around. It's no wonder she rarely bothers with films
Friday 01 August 2014
She stars in one of the most popular shows on television so it's surprising when Modern Family's Julie Bowen reveals that she has imposed a TV ban in the bedroom for more than a decade.
Arriving in New York in the 1990s, hungry for new experiences, her TV ban began as an experiment. "I wanted to see what I'd do with those hours that would otherwise be spent watching TV. Of course I didn't do much. I didn't write a novel, I didn't compose poetry."
Instead, in an odd mirroring of her other, on-screen life as Claire Dunphy, wife to Ty Burrell's estate-agent Phil, she began dating a real-estate investor named Scott Phillips whom she married 10 years ago. They are now parents of three sons: Oliver, seven, and five-year-old twins Gus and John. "He thought my refusal to have a TV was ridiculous. When we moved in together, I surrendered and we got a TV and now we have tons. But I said, 'not in the bedroom!'. And that's the one room I have won."
The middle of three girls born to Suzanne and John Luetkemeyer Jr (a real estate developer, to continue the theme), in Baltimore, Maryland, Bowen attended private schools before earning a BA in Renaissance studies at the prestigious Brown University. She spent a year in Florence from where she returned fluent in Italian. College also introduced her to acting, and she appeared in several stage productions before moving to New York and enrolling at the legendary Actors Studio. While she featured in a number of films including Happy Gilmore, An American Werewolf in Paris and Horrible Bosses, her greatest recognition came on the small screen with recurring roles in Ed, Boston Legal and Lost. "Look, I've had the opportunity to be the wife in a lot of movies but if I'm weighing going away from my kids for six weeks to work a couple of days and go, 'Oh! Where is he? Where's Timmy?', then it either needs to be really compelling and interesting, or pay a shit-load of money – there, I said it. But I don't get paid a lot of money to do movies. That goes to the big, top people. So I'd rather be with the kids."
Aged 44 and under no illusions about her bankability as a movie actress, she adds, laughing: "Anybody can do the math and see there's not that many film roles for women over 35 and, if there are, it's going to be the A-list gal; it's going to be Cameron Diaz. She's got that slot. Not me.
"But then you go to TV and there's Orange is the New Black and you say: 'Oh my God, Jenji Kohan [the show's creator] you crazy genius! Look at all these roles for women.' Even with Game of Thrones, there's far more of a balance and more opportunity to drive the story."
She was heavily pregnant with her twins when she shot the pilot for Modern Family five years ago. Her sons have never watched the show, and they don't enjoy the circus it has created in their young lives. "They hear the words, 'blah blah blah… Modern Family', and it's almost always accompanied by a stranger who's going to interrupt their time at the park or the bowling alley or wherever we're together."
Not that she's complaining. "If I was raising my kids in Oklahoma, I would be a big, huge star but, in LA, I'm just this B-level TV person. They go to school with Gwen Stefani's kids and Dave Grohl's kids and, let me tell you, no-one gives a rat's ass about my kids when those kids are around."
Still, she has her fans. "It's usually girls around 12 to 14, which is an age where girls travel in packs so they're at their most dangerous and feral. That's why The Beatles' bus was almost flipped over. I am certainly not The Beatles. I have experienced a crumb of that and have been terrified. They start screeching and circling like wasps. But they're always lovely, not mean and they're not stalking me at my house."
It was her comic timing as Claire Dunphy that convinced Disney producers to cast Bowen in her latest role, voicing a sassy air-tanker named Dipper in the animated movie, Planes: Fire & Rescue. As Dipper, she is enamoured by a famous air-racer. Has she ever had a crush? "I had a huge crush on Johnny Depp for years – l mean, didn't every girl?" she asks, giggling over tea in Beverly Hills. "When I first moved to LA in my early twenties, Johnny had the Viper Room [nightclub] and my friend and I went there all the time. He was dating Kate Moss at the time, but I had this fantasy that when he saw me, our eyes would meet and he would know. But I never once saw him there."
A guest role on TV's Party of Five finally brought her into the same orbit as her idol. "I was playing a clumsy waitress and I had fallen and was covered in crackers. In the middle of the scene, everybody stopped rolling because Johnny Depp had walked in, and there I was lying on the ground and he's shaking hands with everybody and nobody could remember my name; I was just the extra that week. And I didn't want to get up because they'd got the crackers just right so I just grimaced, thinking, 'This isn't how I was meant to meet you...'."
As for her own modern family, her husband works from home and she counts on him to juggle day-to-day life. When she's not filming the sitcom, guilt propels her into taking over most of the duties. "But it's also a real pleasure to kind of 'Don Draper' them, when you come home at the end of the day, and they're clean and in their pyjamas and they've had dinner and they're just being presented to you as these little gifts to hug and hold; that is fantastic. It isn't really parenting your kids but it is super fun when you get to do it.""Being a parent is really hard, and I don't have endless stores of patience. I wish I did. Somebody, perhaps it was Reese Witherspoon, once said, 'if you don't yell at your kids, you're not seeing them enough', and I took that to heart because if I'm with my kids all day every day – there's yelling."

With the convening of the 112th Congress, I became the Ranking Member on the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure. Although I have left the Natural Resources Committee after having served there for more than 30 years, I intend to remain an active supporter of Native issues.
