This, of course, means transferring these genetically modified embryos to mothers willing to gestate them.A few weeks later, in December 2012, scientists from New York proclaimed they have improved upon the technique that created these three-parent embryos and are intent on further developing their breakthrough for use in humans.Continue reading at the National Catholic Register >>
