DESCRIPTION:It has been suggested that mito-nuclear interactions may poten
 tially be harmful to individuals conceived through mitochondrial replaceme
 t therapy (MRT). In my talk I will consider this problem from an evolution
 ary perspective. I will argue that deleterious mito-nuclear interactions\,
  though they may exist\, are unlikely to be more common amongst individual
 s born to MRT than normal conception. I will present evidence from model o
 rgansisms which supports this conjecture.
