The United Kingdom has seen its first baby born using the DNA of three parents, using a process that carries grave ethical ramifications.
The BBC reports that the anonymous child was born to two parents with the aid of DNA from a female donor, which comprised 0.1 percent of the baby’s genetic material. The child is believed to be one of fewer than five to have been conceived in this manner worldwide since 2016.
Mitochondrial Replacement Technology (MRT), meant to prevent children from being born with mitochondrial diseases, uses in vitro fertilization (IVF) to replace the unhealthy mitochondrial DNA from the parents’ egg or embryo with a healthy substitute from a donor. Eventually as many as 150 babies could be born in this manner in the U.K., according to the BBC.
“It will be interesting to know how well the mitochondrial replacement therapy technique worked at a practical level, whether the babies are free of mitochondrial disease, and whether there is any risk of them developing problems later in life,” said Professor Robin Lovell-Badge of the Francis Crick Research Institute.

So where’s the 3 headed baby?
It is astonishing that any thinking person see this as a grand idea.
They’ve been exploring this option for 50 years.
Sick and dangerous.
How long did Dollie the sheep last? Six and a half years?
I may not be around to read the headline when this clone bites the bean because I am elderly, but I suspect he or she will catch a respiratory infection and crump before age 8.
Oh, sure. Still doesn’t mean it is a good idea, though!
First? Uh, no. The movie Twiins was from 1988, meaning they've been programming the population to accept this since then because they had been doing it since at least that long ago.
Probably. Unfortunately, it make take generations before the freakish mutations start showing up. Then it will be too late.
If humanity are lucky, the freak will be sterile.
We are playing with fire on the scale of learning the physics behind an atom bomb and building one.
May God help us.
The intent of all parties is to "make it go away". And to me...the wisest thing is to adopt.
This is what a Satanic cesspool looks like. Prediction: It won’t last.
IIRC, mitochondrially speaking, we are all straight-up clones of our mothers. Dads literally “don’t enter into it” as the Monty Python guys were heard to say.
When are these idiots going to stop this crap?
This is evil and satanic
Seems crazy and likely to produce a unique form of misery for the children born via this process.
In other words, admitting that these children are to be regarded as lab experiments. Somewhere Dr. Mengele is smiling.
