A response to Saviour Siblings: A Relational Approach to the Welfare of the Child in Selective Reproduction

Much of the debate over the acceptability, or not, of choosing embryos in order to ensure that the resulting child would be a good tissue match for a sick older sibling, has focussed upon the question of whether the so-called ‘saviour sibling’ would be harmed. In one corner are those who maintain th...
