UK Scientists to Create Embryo From Two Women Quote:
UK scientists have won permission to create a human embryo that will have genetic material from two mothers.
BBC News explains how and why.
Why are the UK researchers doing it?
The groundbreaking work aims to prevent mothers from passing certain genetic diseases on to their unborn babies.
The researchers are focusing on a group of conditions called mitochondrial myopathy, which include types of muscular dystrophy.
These cause muscle weakness and wasting, making it difficult to move normally - some may need to use a wheelchair.
At present no treatment for these exists, although things can be done to help with the symptoms.
