GENETICS REIMAGINED

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Scientists recently confirmed the healthy births of children through mitochondrial donation. The innovation opens new doors for reproductive choice. It offers at-risk families a viable path to parenthood without the lingering fear of passing on devastating inherited conditions. However, it also opens up the possibility of designer genetics that will be passed down to future generations. Those currently living with conditions will still face daily challenges, but for the next generation, the landscape has changed.
