UK MPs historically vote in favour of 3 parent DNA Baby making

In a free vote in the House of Commons, 382 parliamentary ministers were in support and 128 against the system that stops hereditary diseases being passed from mother to baby. The United Kingdom is currently the first nation to put forward laws granting the making of babies from three individuals.
Amid the civil argument, clergymen said the method was “light at the end of a dark tunnel” for future parents. A further vote is needed in the House of Lords and if everything is agreed upon, then the first such infant could be born as soon as 2016.
Defenders said the sponsorship was “good news for progressive medicine” however pundits say they will keep on battling against the procedure which they say raises a plethora of moral and principled concerns.
Prime Minister David Cameron said: “We’re not playing god here, we’re just making sure that two parents who want a healthy baby can have one.” It is estimated that 150 three-person babies could be born each year.
The technique was developed in Newcastle and should help people like Sharon Bernardi, who lost all seven of her children to mitochondrial disease. Ms Bernadi said was “overwhelmed” by the choice.
Abnormal mitochondria are passed down just from the mother. They can prompt neurological problems, muscle atrophy, heart failure and visual deficiency. The procedure utilizes an adjusted variant of IVF to join fuse DNA of the two parents with the normal mitochondria of a female benefactor. Only 0.1% of DNA from the second female will be passed on to babies and the results of the technique are permanent thus creating a new healthy genesis.
