1 Baby, 3 Parents: Scientists Say Due Date Is In Two Years
A new medical technique that could prevent mitochondrial disease would also create babies with three parents, a British health agency says. Officials say the time is coming for a technique that would use material from two women and one man to produce a healthy embryo.
“I think that [two years] is not a bad estimation,” Robin Lovell-Badge of the Medical Research Council tells the BBC. “The other sorts of experiments that we thought were necessary, again it will take about two years to complete all of those.”
