among them the philosopher john harris lord alliance professor of bioethics at manchester university. in the case of. science who is. applying a sort of utilitarian framework you have to ask the question. will polluting this science to develop to the point where we know whether it is safe or not in humans. will this benefit humankind or will it be to the detriment of humankind but is the moral question. the three parent label for mitochondrial. is misleading. there is a sense in which it's true basically the. d.n.a. the mitochondrial d.n.a. contains less than one percent of the total it does not transmit any of the normal things that we think of in connection with d.n.a. so it doesn't transmit phenotypical traits. cetera but they do come from a third party but. i mean. you might say two parents good three parents. and it's possible to go even further much further as seen on the other side of the atlantic. one american company over science has been working for years on rejuvenating aging eggs to allow women to effectively turn back their biological clocks and extend their childbearing

lord ismal, and later to margaret thatcher. >> the purpose is to keep the germans out and russians out and the americans in. that's been a real corner stone of the atlantic alliance for 75 years. 80 years really. and one of the things that we have to look at and this is not to politicize the conversation but the mueller investigation as it unfolds. you have to ask the question as many people noted if trump were not in some way pro-russian. what else would he do differently? he's creating anxiety in the alliance and bring putin to center stage in order to expand russian influence in the great tradition of the soviet union. >> it is a profound moment and always as important i would argue since 1989 and the end of the soviet union, we are trying to redefine what american power would looked li like. for the first time in living memory, the russians are far more of a player and we seem to be god fathering them into a sphere of the world where there is anxiety of what the effects would be. >> thank you both gentlemen. as u.s. allies brace for this week's nato summit. president trump has his attention on the supreme court battle at home. why he says he has a good grasp

with clark french from united patients alliance, an organisation formed to promote the medical benefits of cannabis, and baroness meacher, who sits in the house of lordsou at home with ethan. tell me how frustrating it is as a pa rent to tell me how frustrating it is as a parent to know that there could be something out there that could help your son tom and you are unable to give it to him? yes, it's really frustrating. you feel that there is another option there that could be used, and our country are not allowed to use it when they are in other countries. so you feel, why can't our country do this? what is the advice you have been given about being able to pursue this, to get the cannabis oil that you want for ethan? unfortunately our country cannot advise. the companies can't advise either about the dosage, so you take your initiative about the amount of drops you are using on your child. that is what i did, i started off with a couple of drops. after a few weeks we saw the benefits. were you advised to take him abroad for this? no, what i actually did was when we saw the seizures go, i wanted to have advice on that point. i spoke toa have advice

lord loaders. this is a different kind of president on the world stage when it comes to nato. >> yeah. that's undoubtedly true. nato is obviously an important alliancee of the border. i think a lot of folks have realized for a long time that the united states has really carried nato for really the past two or three decades and it's actually good to see an american president going and telling our allies look, you guys have got to pay up. if this is important, then commit the resources to it. brian: do you think the america first attitude that the president ran on is being fulfilled here? i sense there are really no surprises. even taking on china. he has been saying this since the day he walked down -- since he took the escalator down to say he is running for president. >> well, yeah. to me, the china issue is the biggest issue. it's the issue we don't talk about enough. obviously the president has raised the awareness about the rule of china, the rise of china and the fact that they really are our biggest military and economic i for one am pretty happy that we are finally having the conversation about china. about whether their theft of our intellec

valuable these strategic alliances are, it is a pretty staggering, astonishing set of developments in the course of just a few minutes with this president in front of the cameras lord what happens when the cameraings were off, join the conversation, former undersecretary of state, host of andrea mitchell reports, andrea mitchell and new york times washington bureau chief elizabeth newmiller. good to have you all on board. david ignatius is still with us as well. >> rick, there are people who don't want us to draw historical parallels, but history does rhyme. the costs -- you have jon meacham talking about our need to be engaged after world war ii, the costs for an american first policy and by the way the raising of tariffs across the globe, in the 1920s, had such destructive effects in the 1930s that led to the greatest depression in american history as well as the deadliest war other than our own civil war. >> yes. john said it well. it's a scary prospect. there was another wise man who once said the chief deliverable of the nato summit is cohesion. and what donald trump has in one fell swoop violated that this morning. it's a very, very scary prospect. to go back
