Babies from the DNA of the three people prevent a heriditarian disease

Babies from the DNA of the three people prevent a heriditarian disease


Great Britain not only developed the science of three -member babies, but it was also the first country in the world to introduce laws that allow their creation after a coordination in parliament in 2015.

There were controversy because mitochondria have their own DNA, which controls, how they work.

This means that the children have inherited DNA from their parents and about 0.1% of the donor woman.

All girls born through this technique would pass this on to their own children, so it is a permanent change in the genetic inheritance of the human.

This was a step too far for some when the technology was discussed and the fears aroused that it would open the doors to genetically modified “designer” babies.

Prof. Sir Doug Turnball from Newcastle University told me: “I think this is the only place in the world that could have happened. There was first -class science to take us where we are. There were laws that can move into clinical treatment in clinical treatment to support it.
