What is a msl baby?

A MSL baby is a baby who was conceived using a method called Maternal Spindle Transfer (MSL). This technique involves transferring genetic material from the mother's egg into a donor egg that has had its nucleus removed. This can be done to prevent the transmission of certain genetic diseases from the mother to the baby.

MSL babies have three genetic parents - the mother, the father, and the egg donor. This means that they may inherit genetic material from the egg donor in addition to their biological parents. MSL babies are considered to be genetically modified organisms (GMOs) due to the manipulation of their genetic material.

There has been limited research on the long-term effects of MSL on babies, as this technique is still relatively new and controversial. Some concerns have been raised about the potential risks and ethical implications of creating babies with three genetic parents.

Overall, more research is needed to fully understand the implications and potential benefits of MSL babies.
