Believe an embryo with three parents' DNA

British scientists of the University of Newcastle have been able to fecundate an embryo in vitro starting from the DNA of a man and two women, in what you/they consider a landmark in this type of technical.

The first question that we can make ourselves you are for what reason?, according to the investigators, this will allow to eradicate a series of hereditary illnesses, including certain epilepsy types as well as to help those women that suffer bugs mitocondriales, those that one believes, they could be the lawsuit of about half hundred of pathologies.

To achieve this feat the scientists they carried out a mitocondria transplantation in ten severely abnormal discarded embryos of traditional treatments of assisted fertility. At few hours of your creation, you retired the core (that you contain the mother's DNA and the father) and you implanted it to him in another cleared ovum of great part of your genetic imposition.

These embryos began to usually be developed, but the investigators decided to destroy them to the six days. In fact, they only have licence to make laboratory tests but you don't stop to offer this technique as a possible treatment in human. At least, for the moment...
