CEO of Dallas-based SWACHA, one of the largest not-for-profit

Britain may allow a controversial
technique to create babies using DNA from three people,
a move that would help couples avoid passing on rare genetic
diseases, the country's top medical officer says. The new

can result in such diseases as muscular dystrophy, epilepsy,
heart problems and mental retardation. About one in 200 children
is born every year in Britain with a mitochondrial disorder.
