A new method will help babies to be born without diseases A group of experienced scientists from the United States, through long-term research, have learned to fight and prevent birth defects before the very conception of the child. A new method will help babies to be born without diseases that are transmitted genetically.

Scientists from Cornell University conducted a unique study and found that they can correct DNA in their father's sperm. The researchers found a method that by applying an electric pulse to the sperm, breaking its outer shell and allowing the DNA structure to change. Thus, scientists will be able to kill defective cells that are no longer transmitted to offspring.

It is reported that the genetic editing of sperm DNA using the CRISPR-Cas9 system was seen as one of the greatest innovations in medicine in recent decades. If the technology is officially adopted in the medical community, it will help "fix" virtually any genetic mutation that codes for birth defects before the baby is born.
