Yeah, he lost me with the response that corresponds to your #1. If we could do less for cheaper, why weren’t we doing that to preserve finite resources all along? The likelihood that we’ll suddenly “require” less care/service magically in tandem with funds running low is wholly unrealistic. Ie, keep your loved one at home as long as you can possibly do it.

Hi, Rob. I am curious about the veracity of the story. Were any independent lab / dna tests performed to confirm that any of the 4 children reported to have the dna of 3 parents actually have the dna of 3 parents? Why fertilize the mitochondrial donor’s egg with the father’s sperm? It’s a very long path from watching a lab tech vacuum the contents of one cell and replace them with the contents of another cell to the point of having a viable zygote, let alone baby. Considering that all of the lab work is a black box of mystery to the client, do you have any concern that the successful pregnancies are just standard IVF using the donor egg/dna and father’s sperm? How would the clients know the difference?
