I really hate this sensational "from three people" thing.

It's a mitochondria transplant.

We don't start calling people "frankenstein's monsters" because they've had a lung transplant, even though that technically makes them a "person from FOUR people!" Shock!

Its not sensational because of the clickbait title.

It is sensational because it is an example of the state sanctioning the customization of human eggs and embryos - which is a pivot of public policy that creates vast consequences.
