The first baby using a controversial fertility technique has been born. The baby boy has the DNA of three parents and he is considered a medical breakthrough.
"Indeed it's revolutionary research," says Dr. John Zhang, who was the lead doctor.
The baby's mom has a rare genetic disorder, so Dr. Zhang performed an in-vitro procedure, using the sperm from the father, the egg from the mother and an egg from a donor. All of this was done to avoid passing on the disorder to the couple's son.
