Activist and campaigner Rachel Kean poses for the Associated Press outside the Palace of Westminster, after she witnessed the vote on 3-parent babies in the House of Commons, in London Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2015.

Britain has long been a leader in reproductive technology; the world’s first baby from in vitro fertilization, Louise Brown, was born in the U.K. in 1978.(AP Photo/Alastair Grant)
