UK gov’t given go-ahead for ‘three-parent’ genetically altered embryos

UK gov’t given go-ahead for ‘three-parent’ genetically altered embryos: "LONDON, March 27, 2013 A technique to implant donor DNA from a third party into in vitro embryos has been approved by the British Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). The technique is a form of “germline” alteration that involves modification of the person’s mitochondrial DNA (MDNA) to create genetic changes that will be carried on throughout subsequent generations."
