What are three-parent babies?What are three-parent babies?
According to Wikipedia sources - Three-parent
babies are human offspring with three genetic
parents, created through a specialized form of In
Vitro Fertilization in which the future baby's
mitochondrial DNA comes from a third party.
That is 99% of Parents Genes &
0.1 % of Third Donor

What Exactly is this Process?What Exactly is this Process?
It’s a genetics thing—a specific method of in-vitro-
fertilization that combined cells of two women’s
egg. It is an special process carried out in ivf
clinic which replaces via transplantation the birth
mother’s mitochondria the energy-making power
plants of every cell that have their own DNA,
separate from the DNA that builds the rest of the
body.
－ In simple term unhealthier cell of mother are
replaced with third healthier women cells.

How its Done?How its Done?
The technique uses a modified version of
IVF to combine the DNA of the two
parents with the healthy mitochondria of a
donor woman. It results in babies with 0.1%
of their DNA from another woman cell's
and is a permanent change that would be
passed down through the carried
generations.

Defective mitochondria are passed down genetically
only from the mother. This genes can lead to brain
damage, muscle wasting, heart failure and
blindness.
Mitochondria are small tiny compartments inside
nearly every cell of the human body that transform
food into useable energy.
This technique (TPIVF a.k.a Three Parents In-Vitro-
Fertilization) can helps new baby, born without
mitochondrial disease passing from parents who are
already having diseases.
