File this under creepy as shit:

Sydney scientists want to create designer babies with the DNA of three parents to prevent children inheriting life-threatening diseases.

IVF specialists argue they could eradicate mitochondrial mutations - which can cause multi-organ failure and fatal heart, liver and muscle conditions - by removing defective genes and replacing them with healthy DNA from a donor.

The procedure, described by scientific opponents as “fraught with danger”, would ensure women with the severe genetic condition do not pass it on to their children.
