First baby born using 3-parent technique to treat infertility

[senona]

That is interesting and nice to know that some couples may have an answer to infertility.
Not everyone, but for some.





Then there is this....

The baby is the second born using this particular three-parent-baby technique. The first, born in Mexico last year, was made using this method to avoid it inheriting a serious hereditary disease called Leigh Syndrome.

It is nice that the child may be able to avoid inheriting Leigh's Syndrome.




But isn't all this border-line modifying humans more or less, to a certain degree?


On the one hand it is wonderful that this is even possible.
Yet on the other, what is next? GMO humans?
Picking genes "creating" your perfect child?

Or maybe I'm just jumping the gun.




Congrats to the couple!!
