The US Are Now Practicing Genetics Editing (PICTURES) by tuminix(m): 6:01pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
If you haven't heard, the US is already editing human genes... . The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should approve clinical trials to transfer DNA from healthy human eggs to diseased embryos, the US National Academy of Medicine said today. The controversial gene-therapy technique involves replacing an embryo’s energy-producing mitochondria with healthy mitochondria from the egg of a second woman. The aim is to prevent the transmission of diseases caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA. But concerns about the safety of mitochondrial replacement, and the psychological and social implications of children with three genetic parents, have given US regulators pause. source: http://www.nature.com/news/us-panel-greenlights-creation-of-male-three-person-embryos-1.19290?WT.mc_id=TWT_NatureNews Cc: lalasticlala
