YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Eight healthy babies have been born in the United Kingdom thanks to an experimental technique using DNA from three different people to help mothers avoid passing on rare diseases. While the method has raised ethical questions about genetic experimentation, Arthur Caplan, a bioethics professor at New York University, tells "Morning In America" the technique is “fixing a disease,” not making a “super baby.”
