Uk Parliament vote in support of "3 Parent" Baby.

                        

Scientists in the UK will soon start the "3 parent" IVF therapy. Today the British members of parliament voted 382 to 128 a majority of 254  in favour of the 3 parent baby. 3 parent baby will be created using 3 different people to help prevent serious genetic disease. If approved by the House of Lords (which is very likely) Britain will be the first country in the world to permit 3 parents baby.
Technically the baby would have three biological parents, with 99.8% of genetic material coming from the mother and father and 0.2% coming from the mitochondrial donor.
Jane Ellison, the Conservative public health minister, told MPs the techniques provided in the regulations offered the only hope for some women who carried the disease to have “healthy, genetically-related children” who would not suffer from the “devastating and often fatal consequences” of mitochondrial disease. She said mitochondrial DNA made up 0.054% of a person’s overall DNA and none of the nuclear DNA that determined personal characteristics and traits.
Critics of the motion had been given hope of defeating it after the Church of England and the Catholic Church in England and Wales said it was not yet clear that the technique was safe or ethical
