Scientists pledge to increase interference with the Church UK Church groups have recently been criticised for campaigning against the legalisation of mitochondrial donation. As their efforts failed, a group of emboldened scientists has vowed to turn the tables and interfere with matters of religion The Catholic Church and Church of England have recently been urging MPs to vote against the introduction of mitochondrial donation, a potentially life-saving procedure with little to no evidence of any serious risks. However, despite many years of study and several regulations, the aforementioned churches have surprisingly decided to intervene and urge MPs to vote against approving the procedure. Some of the objections raised by the Church have come under particular scrutiny from FFS, such as the accusation that mitochondrial donation will result in “three-parent familiesâ€. |

It's reported in the Grauniad ..... From someone who posts links to the Mail, I will treat your comment with contempt it deserves. Links to other sites, would not work for most because they require subscription. |

Whats wrong with the Guardian? As far as British newspapers go, its one of the better ones, even if you take their leftish bias into account. The article itself should not have been written or published though, not by any newspaper. It basically comes down to 'bunch of scientists make snarky comments about religion'. Why is that news?n The snark isn't even good snark, its just the standard overused Dawkins 'look how silly religion is' rhetoric. |

The article itself should not have been written or published though, not by any newspaper. By itself, nothing. But this wasn't 'questioning primitive superstitions'. This was just a group of scientist making a bunch of snarky comments about religion. They werent even good comments, these were of the level I usually encounter in internet forums, being shouted by Dawkins adepts. If the title of that article was 'scientists make lame observations about religion' it would have covered the content of that article. Its not something that should be covered by national newspapers. |

Its not something that should be covered by national newspapers. The term newspaper implies you cover news. That wasn't news. That was a select group of peoples opinion laden with sarcasm masquerading as news. Also, I'm not saying they aren't allowed to cover such things. They are. I'm just saying that it was a trash article, and I deplore the fact that such a trash article was published by an otherwise quality (which means it has certain standards) newspaper. You are of course wrong. But I try to explain this in your way then. Look, it is written, that mocking is exactly the proper method here: My way? I don't think you know me well enough if you assume that is 'my way'. |

The term newspaper implies you cover news. Hmm, I should have looked closer, its under brainflap. Damn website layout. I retract my criticism. Still think its trash, but good to know the Guardian thinks its trash as well. |

Priests are just another example of people refusing to think for themselves. |
