Diagram for cytoplasmic transfer for Embryo repair

Both the mother's and donor's eggs are fertilised with the father's sperm to create two embryos
The pronuclei, the nuclei during the process of fertilisation, contain the majority of the genetic material. They are removed from both embryos. The donor's is destroyed
A healthy embryo is created by putting the parents' pronuclei into the donor embryo
