Pictured: Babies born through ivory fertilization According to the British "Daily Mail", the world's first "three parents" baby was born in Greece. The mother who gave birth, 32, in order to conceive the child after four failed in vitro fertilization attempts, participated in a clinical test by a Spanish medical team called maternal spindle transplantation (MSF), which simply means that the genetic information of the participants in the trial is transferred through DNA technology into the donated egg cells, and then through the eggs and the donated sperm to form a fertilized egg.

The birth of the baby boy marked a major breakthrough in the treatment of female infertility. But the move was strongly criticized by a professor of ethics at Oxford University: "This is not treating infertility, it is blaspheming human genes." Dr Nuno, one of the medical team, explains: "This is not playing with genes, we are doing this experiment for pure purpose, just to fulfill the mother's dream of the subjects." Moreover, from a scientific point of view, although the child born in this way has two mothers and a father, the main genetic information comes from the subjects themselves, which is much better than not being able to conceive at all. ”
U.S. legislative experts are also concerned about whether to continue banning mitochondrial transplantation, as many Americans see such technologies being validated in other countries. Professor Eon of Harvard University agrees: If the technology is not handled properly, many Americans may choose to go abroad to use such technology, and it is not known how many such "three parents" children will be born at that time, which will trigger a serious social and ethical crisis. In addition, Professor Cohen also said that once MSF technology is popularized, no country can stay out of it. Disclaimer: This article is reproduced for the purpose of transmitting more information.
