Three-Parent Babies: Breakthrough in Reproduction

Imagine your body's cells have tiny power plants called mitochondria.

Sometimes, these power plants don't work right, leading to diseases passed from mothers to babies.

A new technique called MRT helps fix this.

Doctors take the mother's egg, remove the bad power plants, and replace them with healthy ones from a donor.

This egg is then fertilized, creating a baby with genetic material from three people.

So far, babies born this way seem healthy, but scientists are still watching to make sure there aren't any problems later on.
