They use an egg of a donor, which is stripped of the nucleus, and inject the nucleus of the mother there to conduct IVF. The goal is to use the donor's mitochondria and avoid a mitochondrial DNA genetic disease to be inherited from the mom.

So the title is technically correct, in a clickbaity sort of way.

So the egg is from person A, the nucleus from person B, and I'm guessing the sperm would be person C?
