Family and fertility lawyer Stephen Page breaks down the incredible news from the UK where 8 healthy children (4 boys, 4 girls) have been born through groundbreaking mitochondrial donation technology.

In this episode, discover: 

• How mitochondrial donation actually works and why it's revolutionary
• Australia's progress with Meave's Law passed in 2022
• Timeline for Australian clinical trials (targeting late 2026)
• What state and territory law changes are still needed
• The $4 million government funding through Monash University
