帕拉西奥斯-冈萨雷斯和梅迪纳-阿雷拉诺对美国医生张博士通过其在墨西哥的附属诊所使用线粒体替代技术（MRT）后世界上第一个婴儿的出生进行了深刻的描述。他们的文章有助于理解当地和全球复杂的生殖技术景观，并提供了一种平衡，以抵消广泛宣传的说法，即美国科学家跨越国界进行手术，因为墨西哥“没有规则”。他们的文章无疑是及时的。由于许多其他国家都在考虑如何在自己的法律框架内进行mrt谈判，“第一个”婴儿的诞生，以及英国明确将mrt合法化的决定，可能会产生国际影响。1,2通过关注英国的背景和我们自己对墨西哥法律的理解，本评论进一步解释了墨西哥公告的国际意义和应对基因技术快速发展的困难。帕拉西奥斯-冈萨雷斯和梅迪纳-阿雷利亚诺得出结论，这些科学家的行为是非法的，违反了联邦和州法律的几项规定。我们不想对作者对法律的解释提出异议。然而，我们想建议，对mrt的另一种看法可能会导致关于该技术在墨西哥的合法性的不同法律结论。提交人声称，张医生实施的手术违反了《一般卫生法》及其有关条例
Palacios-Gonzalez and Medina-Arellano present an insightful account of the world’s first birth following the use of mitochondrial replacement techniques (MRT) by a US doctor, Dr Zhang, through his affiliated clinic in Mexico. Their article contributes to understanding the complex local and global landscapes of reproductive technologies, and provides a counterbalance to the widely publicized statement that the US scientists crossed borders to perform the procedure because there are ‘no rules’ in Mexico. Their article is no doubt timely. With many other countries considering how to negotiate MRTs within their own legal frameworks, the birth of the ‘first’baby, alongside the UK decision to explicitly legalize MRTs, could have international implications. 1, 2 By focusing on the UK context and our own understanding of Mexican law, this comment provides further explanation of the international significance of the Mexico announcement and the difficulties of responding to the rapid pace of development of genetic technologies.Palacios-Gonzalez and Medina-Arellano conclude that the scientists have acted illegally, breaching several provisions of the federal and state law. We do not wish to dispute the authors’ interpretation of the law. However, we would like to suggest that an alternative view of MRTs could lead to different legal conclusions concerning the lawfulness of the technique in Mexico. The authors claim that the procedure conducted by Dr Zhang violated the General Health Law and its accompanying Regulations on
