In exclusive newsletter dated 27-9, New Scientist said Abrahim Hassan baby was born on 6-4-2016 but until now little information about the newly revealed. According to the researchers, after 5 months, babies grow well and show no signs of illness.

According to New Scientist, the baby's parents had Abrahim Hassan Jordan. Her mother, Mrs Ibtisam Shaban, unfortunately carry the gene causing Leigh syndrome - the disease affects the brain, muscles and nervous system development of babies.

Abrahim Hassan baby before, she had two miscarriages and two births, but the baby will not survive 2 due to this genetic disease.

For 20 years, she and her husband Ibtisam Shaban has found ways to have one healthy baby. Later they went to John Zhang and his team at the Center for Reproductive New Hope in New York. This group has developed new techniques in line with the beliefs of the couple's children but did not intervene in the embryo.

Accordingly they adopted the method called nuclear transfer premature: they swap of the two egg after egg donor mother and fertilized, then removal of the donor's eggs and replaced them with workers of parents. Combination embryos are then implanted in Shaban, and Abrahim baby born 9 months later.

Because this method is not currently approved in the US, his team Zhang went to Mexico - where "there are no rules" about this, wishing to carry a baby for the couple Shaban.

Zhang said that he made the right choice. "Saving people is rewarding ethical action," he said.

The scientific community has responded positively to the news. "This is good news ... This technique is a revolution," Dusko Ilic of Imperial College London, UK, said.

According to the Mirror, more detailed information on techniques to create babies from 3 parents are expected to be revealed at a meeting next month.

Baby created from 3 parents are controversial technique, and so far legally recognized in the UK. Accordingly, the baby will be generated in vitro using DNA from 3 people: a father, an infected mother to her child can move a woman to donate and perfectly healthy.
