ATHENS: A team of Greek and Spanish doctors announced Thursday the birth of a baby using DNA from three people after a controversial fertility treatment that has provoked intense ethical debate.

"The completely successful and safe implementation of the Maternal Spindle Transfer method - for the first time in medical history - is a revolution in assisted reproduction," Dr Costa-Borges said.
