“The British government has said it will pursue a radical fertility technique that uses DNA from three parents to create an embryo.  The IVF-based technique is designed to avoid serious mitochondrial diseases inherited on the maternal side, such as muscular dystrophy. Mitochondria are the structures within cells that convert energy from food into a form that the body can use. The technique would replace some of the unhealthy DNA with healthy DNA from the so-called ‘third parent’.  Politicians are due to debate the regulations in parliament next year, setting the stage for Britain to become the first country to offer the treatment.”
