Such an interesting debate in bioethics today. It is the subject of considerable controversy in the field of bioethics... My question is: are we playing God?

What is the mitochondrial treatment performed in the UK? Will have a child patient three parents? Will the law authorizing the adoption of this type of interventions to break the religious and political taboos? What are the risks implied and what new therapies bring?

The legal, ethical and scientific dimensions of the new gene therapy session will discuss Havran dinner with former constitutional judge Professor John Drgonec, a bioethicist and professor Joseph Glasa, physician and biologist and philosopher Professor Peter Sykora.
