Foreknowledge: for God and not for us

With scientific advances, sometimes you need to read between the lines. At first glance, all looks well with a successful new test developed by researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. They can now test unborn children to discern if they have cystic fibrosis, b-thalassemia, or sickle cell anemia—ailments caused by a single mutated gene. Actually, tests already exist that can detect cystic fibrosis before birth. But they require doctors to insert a needle into the mother's womb, which sometimes results in miscarriage. The new test, announced online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, requires no such invasive measures. It compares the baby's DNA in the mother's blood with her own DNA. The key breakthrough came when researchers employed digital technology to count individual mutant or normal DNA sequences.

Here's What I Like... I like to see beautiful smiles Upon everyone’s face, To know that everyone is happy And in a good place. I like the sweet cooings Of all the wonderful babies; Teach them the Word of God To keep them out of Hades. I like to see the sun rise And then to watch it go down; Gives us another chance To view that ‘Glory’ crown. I like my car, good music, and the color blue. I like the ocean, all animals, And I especially like you.
