answer text

The Government’s position that mitochondrial donation techniques do not alter personal characteristics and traits of the person reflects information within the April 2011 scientific report of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority convened Expert Panel. The Expert Panel membership at that time included Professor Peter Braude and Professor Robin Lovell-Badge. The working definition of genetic modification in humans, in relation to mitochondrial donation, was determined by the Department in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer for England.
