LONDON - British scientists say they have created human embryos containing DNA from two women and a man in a procedure that researchers hope might be used one day to produce embryos free of inherited diseases...

The process aims to create healthy embryos for couples to avoid passing on genes carrying diseases.

The genes being replaced are the mitochondria, a cell's energy source, which are contained outside the nucleus in a normal female egg. Mistakes in the mitochondria's genetic code can result in serious diseases like muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, strokes and mental retardation.

此科研成果顯示了三個父母親 （兩個生母）的可能性。感想：先進的科學令人相信世界上幾乎沒有什麽事情是不可以被人創造出來的。。。因而當有預言家預示將來人類的壽命會被延伸至一千歲時，需要慎重的思考一下再決定是否可以說“no“。。。
