nvestigate references dealing with the technical and ethical challenges surrounding mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT). Consider the following questions: Differentiate between MRT methods: pronuclear transfer (PNT) versus maternal spindle transfer (MST). Much of the controversy surrounding MRT methods has been triggered by the phrase “three-parent babies” in media headlines. Do you think that this phrase is an accurate description of children born following mitochondrial replacement? Summarize the ethical arguments used to support and oppose the use of MRT in humans. In your opinion, which arguments have validity, and why

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
