In a hospital near Paris was born the first genetically selected baby in France to avoid an incurable disease. This baby, whose gender has not been clarified, was born one month premature and ahead of schedule, so physicians should wait several days before a final decision on the success of the process.

This procedure, approved in France for just over a year, allows parents carry the gene for a genetic disease “particularly grave and incurable” having a child completely free of this disease.
