Britain agrees to license three-parent IVF babies to prevent disease

Britain on Thursday became the first country to formally license an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment designed to create babies from three people. In a long-awaited decision, Britain's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) gave the final go-ahead for the treatment known as mitochondrial transfer, which doctors say could help prevent incurable inherited diseases. Britain's parliament last year voted to change the law to allow the treatments if and when they were ready for licensing.
