A baby has been born using DNA from three people, marking a major milestone in genetic medicine. 🧬👶 The pioneering technique allows a child to inherit nearly all of their DNA from their biological mother and father, along with a tiny amount of healthy mitochondrial DNA from a donor. This donor DNA doesn’t influence traits like appearance or personality—it serves one crucial purpose: helping prevent serious inherited mitochondrial diseases. Mitochondrial disorders can affect energy production in cells and may lead to severe, life-threatening health complications. Scientists say this breakthrough could offer new hope to families carrying these rare genetic conditions, potentially preventing devastating diseases from being passed to future generations. At the same time, the advancement continues to spark debate around the ethical boundaries of genetic medicine. For many, it represents both the incredible promise—and the complex questions—of modern biotechnology. ✨
