Her Son Is One Of The Few Children To Have 3 Parents
Several women who have had trouble conceiving children have gone to a clinic in Ukraine that is doing something unique: using DNA from three different people to create a healthy embryo.
On the third floor of a big Soviet-era apartment building in Kharkiv, Ukraine, the mother of one of the world's first babies created with DNA from three different people cracks open her door.
"Hello; my name is Tamara," she whispers, to avoid waking her son from his nap.
Her name isn't really Tamara. She asked me to call her that to protect her family's privacy. She knows how unusual â and controversial â her baby might be to some people.
Doctors at the Nadiya Clinic in Kiev, which created her baby, arranged for Tamara to become the first mother of a "three-parent baby" to give an interview to a journalist.
