Scientists have created the first pregnancy that would have produced babies with three genetic parents.

But after triplets formed in a woman's womb, one foetus was aborted and two later miscarried. Now work on the process, called human nuclear transfer, has been called off after the authorities realised how close scientists in China were to achieving the birth of a three-parent child.

And have no doubt...they're getting funding for this. i think they should be getting jail time!

And I thought the process in Gattica attempted to defy the laws of human nature?

Hm.
