Eight healthy babies have been born in the UK using a revolutionary technique that combines DNA from three people to prevent genetic diseases. This method, made possible by a 2016 law change, allows for the replacement of mutated mitochondria with healthy ones from a donor egg. Researchers reported successful outcomes from embryos of 22 women, with eight births and one ongoing pregnancy. While the technique raises ethical concerns, it offers hope to families affected by mitochondrial diseases. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
