Three-Parent Baby: Revolutionizing Reproductive Science with Mitochondrial Donation
The concept of a "three-parent baby" has emerged as one of the most groundbreaking advancements in reproductive science, offering hope to families who risk passing on certain genetic disorders. This technique, known as mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT), allows the creation of a child with DNA from three individuals—two genetic mothers and one father. This innovative procedure has sparked ethical debates, inspired scientific discussions, and opened up new possibilities for genetic health.
In this article, we’ll explore what a three-parent baby is, how the process works, the reasons behind it, and the ethical and scientific implications of this cutting-edge technology.
