Biologists across Mexico now use the stem cells, which D\u00edaz \u2014 a researcher at the National Institute of Perinatology in Mexico City \u2014 created using embryos discarded by a fertility clinic. However, in recent months, D\u00edaz has put his stem-cell research on hold as he is waiting to see whether Mexico\u2019s legislature will approve an amendment to the national health law that would ban experiments with human embryos. The proposal is winding its way through the legislature\u2019s lower house, the Chamber of Deputies. To become law, it would have to be approved by the legislature and by Mexico\u2019s president, Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto. The amendment is intended to regulate assisted reproduction, including the payment of surrogate mothers, donations to egg and sperm banks and the fertilization of more than three eggs at a time. But it would also ban the creation of human embryos for any purpose except reproduction and any research with existing human embryos. Such restrictions are intended to address Mexico\u2019s thriving reproductive tourism industry, which has few protections for surrogate mothers. But the proposed amendment would have prohibited a scientific world first that took place in Mexico: the conception of a baby with DNA from three people. The child was born in April. His parents, who are from Jordan, used the treatment to prevent their baby from inheriting a disease that would otherwise be passed down through his mother\u2019s mitochondrial DNA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To know more, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/news\/mexico-proposal-to-ban-human-embryo-research-would-stifle-science-1.21109\">Human-Embryo Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabi\u00e1n D\u00edaz achieved a milestone last year when he derived the first human embryonic stem-cell line from cells of Mexican origin.
