BABIES WITH TWO MOTHERS, IS IT WRONG?
Last March the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of Saint Barnabas in West Orange, New Jersey, reported in the Journal of Human Reproduction in the paper: “Mitochondria in human offspring derived from ooplasmic transplantation: Brief communication,” that they had produced 16 babies that had two biological mothers and that here already 30 worldwide. This information caused concern in the medical community because it implicated the modification of the human genome. Before discussing the implications of this fact, let me tell you why and how it was done.
