Genetics Breakthrough

i saw this on the tele. i dont know anything about genetics, but what they were saying is the defective genes or whatever would be removed from the ovum and replaced with 'good' genes from another womans ovum.

I dunno, sounds a little weird to me...you might as well have a donor egg....maybe it will lead to further advances, I'm sure it will sometime in the future, I dont like the idea of tampering with ovum in this manner though <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

As Stacey said, CF is inherited through the chromosomes of both parents, not through mitochondrial dna, so this technique can't change the inheritance of CF. For the couples with those types of diseases though, it will allow them to have children that are 99% genetically theirs but without passing on the disease. I'm interested to see if clinical trials will be allowed! I think it would be a very positive step in the future of human reproductive genetics. =)
