Kenan Malik on mitochodrial transfer, more commonly known, misleadingly wrongly, as the "three parent baby" technique.

I watched the debate and vote on BBC Parliament and it was very interesting to hear from both sides of the argument.

It was passed by something like 2/1 in favour and I was pleased it had gone through.

I sincerely hope that it is successful in it's entirety .

It is so easy for the press to come up with a "sound bite" title, like "3-parent babies" which obscure the scientific reality and reinforces prejudice.
