3-Parent In-Vitro Fertilization Would Use Cloning Technology To Prevent Inherited DiseaseBritain is considering whether to approve a fertility treatment designed to prevent some incurable inherited diseases under which babies would be conceived from three biological parents.
Health Minister Andrew Lansley asked the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) to assess three-parent in vitro fertilisation (IVF) after British researchers said they had mastered the technique using cloning technology.
The method, developed by scientists at Newcastle University, swaps DNA between two fertilized human eggs.
