bill presented: Mitochondrial Replacement (Public Safety) ( 1 Sep 2014)

Jim Dobbin: As a former NHS scientist, I would like to speak in support of the motion proposed by the hon. Member for Congleton (Fiona Bruce).

bill presented: Mitochondrial Replacement (Public Safety) ( 1 Sep 2014)

Jim Dobbin: I understand the hon. Gentleman’s point, but may I refer him to Dr David King, director of Human Genetics Alert?

Denying Parliament the opportunity to examine these results seems difficult to...

Mitochondrial Transfer (Three-Parent Children) (12 Mar 2014)

Jim Dobbin: The head of the United States Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on this matter, Evan Snyder, has said that there are not enough clinical data to suggest that mitochondrial transfer is safe.
