In a medical revolution in Greece, a baby boy was born out of a three-person IVF technique. This method is known as the Maternal Spindle transfer, where the DNA of the mother egg and the donor egg is switched in order to avoid any transfer of genetic disorders.

According to an article by TIME, the mother, Matina Karavokyri went through four unsuccessful cycles of IVF before she tried this technique.
