London (Press Trust India) : The creation of genetically-modified “designer” babies to carry healthy DNA from a third biological parent could be legalised in the UK next year.
A law change would allow for children to be “designed” in order to be free of horrific diseases. The children would effectively have two mothers and one father and the technique could lead to the creation of designer babies, made to order by hair or eye colour.
Germline therapy, or the alteration of genes in eggs or sperm, is banned in most countries, the Daily Mail reported.
