World's First Baby Born From New Procedure Using DNA Of Three People by Bleeze2: 10:12pm On Sep 28, 2016
The world’s first baby to be born from a new procedure that
combines the DNA of three people appears to be healthy,
according to doctors in the US who oversaw the treatment.
The baby was born on 6 April after his Jordanian parents
travelled to Mexico where they were cared for by US fertility
specialists.
Doctors led by John Zhang, from the New Hope Fertility
Center in New York, decided to attempt the controversial
procedure of mitochondrial transfer in the hope that it would
give the couple a healthy child.
While many experts welcomed news of the birth, some raised
concerns that the doctors had left the US to perform the
procedure beyond the reach of any regulatory framework
and without publishing details of the treatment.
Speaking to the New Scientist , Zhang said he went to Mexico
where “there are no rules” and insisted that doing so was
right. “To save lives is the ethical thing to do,” he said.
Mitochondrial transfer was legalised in the UK in 2015 but so
far no other country has introduced laws to permit the
technique. The treatment is aimed at parents who have a
high risk of passing on debilitating and even fatal genetic
diseases to their children.
