A sport. A genetic change which occurs in the plant's cells, unpredictable and noticeably different from the other flowers growing on the very same plant. Spontaneous, unexpected, rare. Gardener's highly regard this type of bloom. Treasured because it is different. Marveled over because it's distinctive. Mysterious because of its genetic variation. In my third year of growing dahlias, this is the first time I have ever grown a...]]></description><link>https://www.nipthaven.org/post/beauty-in-the-different</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ac9481e86e1da51f6fd037c</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Oct 2026 23:00:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/1f7d0c_1df00315f98045ca814d3a478277ee8a~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kelli Stelter</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gene Editing &#38; Down syndrome: A lawful answer or playing God?]]></title><description><![CDATA[The world is in a spiritual battle of thinking we know God’s ways when it comes to science and life. In early 2025, a study published in PNAS Nexus by Hashizume demonstrated a technique which would selectively eliminate the extra chromosome in Trisomy 21. The researchers were able to remove the entire chromosome while leaving the necessary pair intact. Using CRISPR-Cas9, researchers made a cut in the third copy of the 21st chromosome. Over time, the cells produced two copies rather than the...]]></description><link>https://www.nipthaven.org/post/gene-editing-down-syndrome-a-lawful-answer-or-playing-god</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6abfe804d486078ec7770fac</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Oct 2026 01:58:20 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_036e72c2ed534b5b9aa7810498da7467~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kelli Stelter</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every Promise Fulfilled: Trusting God through a prenatal diagnosis]]></title><description><![CDATA[While Iceland aborts 100% of prenatal cases of Down syndrome, the United States is not far behind, due to the rise of prenatal testing and normalization of aborting “imperfect children.” I was the scared mother of a baby diagnosed with Trisomy 21 — Down syndrome — at 11 weeks pregnant. When the world offered 'termination' and validated that action, my husband and I chose to trust God.
