First Three-Parent Baby Arrives in the World
A new technique that combines DNA from three people has been used successfully in the birth of boy who is now aged five months, according to New Scientist’s Jessica Hamzelou, and the international science community is regarding it as both a revolutionary event and a cause for more discussion.
Although controversial, this breakthrough gives parents with rare genetic mutations the ability to conceive healthy infants. But the technique has been legally approved only in the UK, though embryologists are pushing for fast approval globally. The child’s mother and father were Jordanian and were treated by a US team in Mexico.
