I believe such a licence should not have been granted.

1) Humans naturally have DNA from 2 people, their father and mother. Once 3 parent DNA people are able to reproduce, they will do so and sometimes, they will do so without informing their sexual partner. This has ramifications that have not been explored.
2) The whole purpose behind 3 Parent Babies, (3PBs) is to prevent inherited disease. Where has there been significant investigation into how the children and grand-children of 3PBs will not bestow inherited diseases?
3) How about 6 parent babies, or 12 parent babies?

People world wide need full opportunity to discuss and consider these matters, before they proceed any further.

Do what you can to introduce a moratorium.

What do you mean? Do you mean: Bob has three parents, Bob marries Alice, but he doesn't tell her that he has 3 parents?

That is what I mean, but I am more concerned with the case where it is the female who has 3 parents, but too complex to understand.

Sounds like an idea with good intentions, but what if they end up with Frankenstein?

Then we'll just have him make Monsters. He was a pretty smart guy, if I recall.

There are always trade offs in life and in not sure if I want to find out what that would be in this case

Scientists are clowns, how about we simply supplement with iodine.
