The child was born by 3 parents who are about to be born in England

The Newcastle Reproduction Center (UK) was approved to create children with 3 parents' DNA.

This technique aims to use DNA from a healthy person to "patch" the DNA of the child's father or mother, thereby eliminating serious illnesses and birth defects. Research has been controversial when published several years ago.

Some experts argue that it is not in line with ethical standards and leads to the risk of being used to create perfect children.

The first people who were fortunate when the medical industry "lighted the green" for this procedure were two couples in which the wife who possessed a gene mutation could cause Merrf syndrome in her child. This is a severe, rare and untreatable form of epilepsy, resulting in sudden seizures, loss of muscle control, weakness, deafness, dementia .

The two mothers with the gene mutation were anonymous and went through a rigorous medical review process. Previously, they were not allowed to follow the law in the UK, women were not considered consistent with IVF when previous genetic diagnosis showed that they could only produce IVF embryos with harmful mutations.

To perform the procedure, the couple is first conducted in normal in vitro fertilization. But instead of letting it grow into embryos, scientists filter out the parents' genetic material and place it in a donated egg from a healthy person. In this way, the mother's genetic errors are replaced by the corresponding part of healthy people.

He is the second country to approve the creation of a child with three parents. Earlier, in 2016, Dr. John Zhang, from the New Hope Reproduction Center in New York (USA), said he created a healthy child in the same method at an office clinic. Mexico, after being approved by the local government. The case is controversial and experts are required to keep an eye on the baby for a long time to ensure the baby is developing normally.
