The British House of Lords approves the "One Father and Two Mothers" Baby Act
Release date: 2015-03-03
On the evening of the 24th, the House of Lords of the British Parliament approved the "Human Fertilization and Embryology Act 2008" amendment with an overwhelming majority of 280 votes in favor and 48 votes against, allowing the use of healthy DNA from female donors to replace an egg that is defective. Mitochondrial DNA has made the UK the first country in the world to legalize the technology.
The British Wellcome Foundation, a research granter for mitochondrial donation technology, said Jeremy Falle, the director of the mitochondrial donation technology: “Those families who know how to care for children with devastating diseases can now decide whether mitochondrial donations are correct. The decision of the parliament gives these families this choice and is under the proper protection of the British management system envied by the international community.†Reproductive expert Lord Winston acknowledges that the first patient to be treated will be “in the dark†"But" but he stressed that all major advances in reproductive technology have faced similar situations.
The church leaders in England warned that this would create a “three-family familyâ€, which was too hasty. During the House of Lords debate, a letter co-branded by 50 members of the European Parliament called on the European Commission to investigate the UK’s “lack of compliance†with EU law, arguing that it would “consume basic standards of human dignity and human integrityâ€. ".
The British Human Reproduction and Embryology Authority (HFEA) stated that it will design a licensing framework for the clinical plan for this treatment. The head of the agency, Surrey Chesil, said that after years of scientific and ethical debates, today's parliament decided to allow the use of mitochondrial donations to provide families with mitochondrial diseases with the possibility of having their own healthy genetic children. “The UK is the first country in the world to allow the legalization of this therapy,†he said. “The HFEA will design a strong licensing program – consider the technical and ethical complexity of the therapy on a case-by-case basis. Ensure that any newborn child has the best chance of a healthy life."
On February 3, the British House of Commons passed the "Human Fertilization and Embryology Act 2008" amendment with 382 votes in favor and 128 votes against.
