Blind activist and broadcaster Lucy Edwards has revealed why she will have IVF to remove the gene which led to her losing her eyesight as a teenager, citing one "question mark" which would surround the pregnancy if she conceived naturally.
Edwards has the rare genetic condition known as incontinentiapigmenti - the same condition which saw her grandmother miscarry nine baby boys.
She told Good Morning Britain on Wednesday: "I don't want to put my body through what my grandmother went through.
"If I don't have to, I don't want to go through that. With today's technology, it's amazing."
