        Cholera, smallpox and bubonic plague involved a 'three-people' technique? Wow. We have TB back in the UK now.

        so if you want a child but there's a 95% it will be born with a life threatening issue you'd gamble?

        You're right. Babies deserve those genetic diseases, why should we prevent them from having a bad life?!

        This situation was purely because the mother carried a genetic disease which could have been passed on

        And that's the right reason to do this. I was unaware of the back ground story, just read the headline tweet.
