It is designed to help families with mitochondrial diseases, incurable conditions passed down the maternal line that affect around one in 6,500 children worldwide.

Every time we humans mess with mother nature it never seems to go well. Maybe that is God's plan.
Like a sci fi movie. The elites will someday rule the world.
