The infant was born Tuesday morning in Greece, weighing about 6 lbs, the doctors said. The mother, an infertile 32-year-old woman from Greece, and the new-born child are said to be in good health.
Fertility doctors in Greece and Spain claim they made medical history this week after a healthy baby boy was born using the genetic information from three parents.
The baby was produced by scientists using a controversial procedure known as the maternal spindle transfer. The procedure, which is banned in the U.S. but allowed in the U.K., is an experimental form of in vitro fertilization which essentially combines the eggs of a mother and donor mother, and sperm from the father.
Britain become the first nation to legalize a"three-parent" IVF technique. The method is said to raise ethical concerns with scientists because the genetic engineering has the potential to impact the genes of future generations. They also fear it could lead to the rise of"designer babies."
