Una mujer británica se convirtió en la primera de su país en concebir un bebé de diseño con embriones seleccionados libres de la herencia genética del cancer [...] La embarazada [...] utilizó una técnica de escáner genético para garantizar que no transmitirá a su hijo el retinoblastoma (cáncer de retina) que ella padece desde hace años [...] Aunque la mujer y su pareja no sufrían problemas de fertilidad, ambos decidieron crear un bebé de probeta in vitro, para que los médicos examinaran los genes del cáncer y seleccionaran el embrión sano entre los diseñados en el laboratorio, antes de trasplantarlo al ovario de la madre. 3, record 1, Spanish, - beb%C3%A9%20a%20la%20carta
