How is this possible? Well, because of the miracles of science, the baby grew from an embryo that was screened to ensure it did not contain the faulty gene (pictured above) with the same technique that is used to screen embryos resulting from In Vitro for disorders like cystic fibrosis.

Here are the facts about any girl born with the BRCA 1 gene. She has a(n):

• 80% risk of developing breast cancer
• 60 % chance of developing ovarian cancer
• 50% risk of passing the above on to her own children

A group of Spanish researchers reported in Science magazine that if they boosted production of a protein called RGS-14 (pictured above) in the visual cortex in mice, it affected the animals ability to remember objects they had seen; in some cases up to two months. Normally, the same mice would only be able to remember these objects for about an hour.

If this same protein works the same way for humans, boosting our visual memory, imagine the possibilities…

What would you use your new memory-enhancer powers for? LOL!
