| The
Baby made from two mothers
and one father
After
fertilisation, the developing embryo was implanted into the older
woman's womb. The method is an alternative to egg donation for an
older woman, where she lands up carrying a child that is not hers
genetically. Six couples have undergone treatment at the Huntington
Reproductive Centre in Los Angeles.
The procedure carries risks of genetic abnormalities
as well as emotional risks for the children, whose identity may
be called into question. The technique is legal under British
law and in many other nations, although it is illegal to manipulate
the genes of a fertilised embryo.
