Three Parents Babies - Know What are They?

Title: Three Parents Babies - Know What are They?


1
3 Parent Babies
  • Three-Parent Babies
  • Explained

2
What are three-parent babies?
  • According to Wikipedia sources - Three-parent
    babies are human offspring with three genetic
    parents, created through a specialized form of In
    Vitro Fertilization in which the future baby's
    mitochondrial DNA comes from a third party.
  • That is 99 of Parents Genes
  • 0.1 of Third Donor

3
What Exactly is this Process?
  • Its a genetics thinga specific method of
    in-vitro-fertilization that combined cells of two
    womens egg. It is an special process carried out
    in ivf clinic which replaces via transplantation
    the birth mothers mitochondria the energy-making
    power plants of every cell that have their own
    DNA, separate from the DNA that builds the rest
    of the body.
  • -In simple term unhealthier cell of mother are
    replaced with third healthier women cells.

4
How its Done?
  • The technique uses a modified version of IVF to
    combine the DNA of the two parents with the
    healthy mitochondria of a donor woman. It results
    in babies with 0.1 of their DNA from another
    woman cell's and is a permanent change that would
    be passed down through the carried generations.

5
Advantage - Life-Saving
  • Defective mitochondria are passed down
    genetically only from the mother. This genes can
    lead to brain damage, muscle wasting, heart
    failure and blindness.
  • Mitochondria are small tiny compartments inside
    nearly every cell of the human body that
    transform food into useable energy.
  • This technique (TPIVF a.k.a Three Parents
    In-Vitro-Fertilization) can helps new baby, born
    without mitochondrial disease passing from
    parents who are already having diseases.

6
Why It's Needed?
  • If mother has some genetic disease, chances are
    it will passes to their new born babies.
  • This technique is used stop any genetic diseases
    being passed from mother to child and prevent any
    death from such diseases.

7
Is US Ready for three-parnets babies?
  • UK is the first country to introduce laws in
    February 2015 which allow the creation of babies
    from three people.
  • Is this procedure safe and legal in US/Canada?
  • The process is still in research mode (Phase I -
    Clinically trails). Hence it have not been
    approved yet by FDA of United States. Perhaps in
    coming years we could expects to be availble in
    other Countries.
