IMO this is a beautiful thing.
Nearly all the baby's DNA is from mom and dad, but a small piece of one parent's bad DNA has been replaced with good DNA from a donor.
Brilliant!
Is the baby a little bit the child of a third person?
Sure.
So what?!
Science/medicine has helped a couple finally have a baby with a chance of survival.
I'm sure the usual suspects will flip out.
