By permission of British MPs, then in England there will soon be a baby that comes from the DNA of three different people. It aims to produce a healthy baby or stop the disease that moves from mother to newborn, affecting about one in 6,500 children worldwide.

This technique combines DNA from parents with DNA from healthy women, about 0.1 percent of infant DNA will come from donors. Doctors say this is "light at the end of a dark tunnel" for many families, but critics say it is bad and could lead to "designer baby".
