Melissa Ohden was not supposed to survive. The now 42-year-old Missourian should have been killed in a late-term abortion at the hands of her own grandmother, but she did not. Ohden lived and a family adopted her, but, for decades, neither she nor her birth mother knew exactly what had happened the day of her birth. Recently, she and her birth mother, Ruth, told their story to The Sun. They shared about heartbreak, lies, secrets, a seemingly hopeless search and finally reunification.

When Ruth was 19 and pregnant, she was pressured by her mother, a nurse, into aborting Melissa. Ruth said she did not want the abortion, but her mother insisted. Afterward, Ruth was told that the abortion had been successful and her baby was discarded as “medical waste.” For many years, she did not know that Melissa had survived. Ohden said, “I had been ‘laid aside’ but two nurses took it into their hands to save me and I was taken to neo-natal intensive care where amazingly I survived.” A miracle baby, Ohden was adopted into a loving home. She said her parents were open with her about the fact that she was adopted, but she did not learn that she had survived an abortion
until she was 14. “After finding out, I internalized my pain and let everyone think I was fine, but inside I was devastated,” she remembered. “I struggled in a huge way and started drinking. I couldn’t control the very way I came into the world so I freaked out.” When she was 19, she began searching for her birth parents. Ohden told The Sun that more than a decade went by before she found her birth father. Not long afterward, however, she said she learned that he had died. Then, in 2013, Ohden said she received a call from her biological mother’s cousin. That connection eventually linked the mother and daughter together. Ruth did not know about her daughter’s existence Continuation on Page: 7

Scientists Edited Genes of Unborn By: Lifenews.com Babies. When the Experiment Failed, They Killed the Babies An experiment that involved editing the DNA of unborn babies at their earliest stage of life and then destroying them ended in disaster, scientists in London reported this month. Medium reports the research by biologist Kathy Niakan and her team at the Francis Crick Institute is being widely regarded as a warning sign about the dangers of trying to create a genetically modified human being. Niakan used the CRISPR gene-editing technology to experiment on 25 human embryos, all less than 14 days old, according to the report. Although the embryos were in their earliest stage of life, they already were individual human beings with their own unique DNA. According to the report,
the London scientists used CRISPR to remove a gene known as POU5F1 in 18 of the embryos. Afterward, when they examined the 18 embryos and compared them to the seven that had not had their DNA edited, the scientists said about half had major DNA abnormalities that they did not intend. Though the full impact of DNA editing is unknown, the scientists predicted that the abnormalities could cause birth defects, cancer and other problems, the report states. It also is unknown how DNA edits could affect any future children of those children. Here’s more from the report: The researchers then used sophisticated computational methods to analyze all of the embryos.

What they found was that of the edited embryos, 10 looked normal but eight had abnormalities across a particular chromosome. Of those, four contained inadvertent deletions or additions of DNA directly adjacent to the edited gene. A major safety concern with using CRISPR to fix faulty DNA in people has been the possibility for “off-target” effects, which can happen if the CRISPR machinery doesn’t edit the intended gene and mistakenly edits someplace else in the genome. But Niakan’s paper sounds the alarm for so-called “on-target” edits, which result from edits to the right place in the genome but have unintended consequences. After the experiment, the scientists said they destroyed all the embryos.
