The creation of up to five babies by three-parent in vitro fertilisation has come under criticism from the Catholic bishops of England and Wales.
Auxiliary Bishop John Sherrington of Westminster, the lead bishop for life issues, said revelations uncovered by the Guardian newspaper were “deeply concerning”.
The Catholic Church opposes the technique to create babies for parents with genetic abnormalities because two embryos are created and destroyed in the process of harvesting their parts to create a third.
