TY - JOUR T1 - ‘Yes’ to mitochondrial replacement techniques and lesbian motherhood: a reply to Françoise Baylis JF - Journal of Medical Ethics JO - J Med Ethics SP - 280 LP - 281 DO - 10.1136/medethics-2018-105060 VL - 45 IS - 4 AU - César Palacios-González AU - Giulia Cavaliere Y1 - 2019/04/01 UR - http://jme.bmj.com/content/45/4/280.abstract N2 - In a recent paper – Lesbian motherhood and mitochondrial replacement techniques: reproductive freedom and genetic kinship – we argued that lesbian couples who wish to have children who are genetically related to both of them should be allowed access to mitochondrial replacement techniques (MRTs). Françoise Baylis wrote a reply to our paper –‘No’ to lesbian motherhood using human nuclear genome transfer– where she challenges our arguments on the use of MRTs by lesbian couples, and on MRTs more generally. In this reply we respond to her claims and further clarify our position. ER -
