AMAZING, THREE PARENTS MAY GIVE BIRTH TO ONE CHILD IN UK STARTING FROM NEXT YEAR.

Children in the U.K. may be born by three parents with
their DNA being the main power of regeneration in this process. This process of pro-creation may likely start next year. It was some how adopted after Parliamentary vote earlier today approved a controversial fertility procedure.
The lower chamber of British Parliament, have enough votes in favor of the idea, the House of Commons, voted 382-128 today to pass a bill authorizing an in-vitro fertilization technique that would combine two parents’ genetic material with that of a third female donor. 
But the upper chamber which is, the house of the Lords, is expected to take up the issue next month; if they also vote in favor, three-person IVF could become legal by October, making the U.K. the first country in the world to permit it.
The reason of this kind of pro-creation process is that, it would allow women who carry the genes for mitochondrial disease—(a collection of inherited and incurable conditions)—to have their own biological children without passing down the risk Because, most a times the children given birth in this kind of condition hardly survive. Their mortality rate is high. Mitochondria, often described as the “power center” of the cell, are the organelles that provide it with energy. They also have 37 genes within them—and when those genes have certain mutations, they can trigger a host of debilitating and sometimes fatal problems, including muscular dystrophy, heart and liver issues, seizures, and diabetes. Worldwide, an estimated one out of every 6,500 children is thought to have some form of mitochondrial disease, which can only be passed down from mother to child (sperm doesn’t play a role).
