Vicky Holliday is the mother of a one-year-old daughter who has a mitochondrial disorder; she wants to have another baby using the kind of treatment that MPs are debating whether to legalise.

MPs are voting to decide whether to allow the creation of IVF babies with DNA from three different people, which would mean amending the 2008 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act.

"It's essential to us to have this (law) passed. If there's a technique out there which means we can eradicate mitochondrial disease to stop it being passed down to future generations then we really need MPs to vote for this".

She rejected claims that a child with another person's mitochondria would make them someone else's "I don't feel our child would have three parents."
