British scientists have created an embryo with three parents.
Researchers at the University of Newcastle took the nucleus of an embryo produced during assisted reproduction and put it inside an egg from which the original DNA was removed, leaving behind the donor's mitochondria.
The resulting embryo thus contained genetic contributions from three people.
Let the controversies begin.
