Can God Fill Teeth?

[cyrano]

Once again, double-sized issue of IFIAYAQD!
With the recent vote in the House of Commons, I've been poking at the concept of 'Saviour Siblings' (wow, there's a loaded term to frame the debate...).
What are your thoughts on the idea of fertilising embryos and then chosing one for genetic compatibility with a person who has a disabling illness or genetic defect?

Well, I'm torn. I find the idea distasteful, but I would do it to save my child, especially of the plan to have another kid anyway.

Just so long as you aren't putting the kid up for adoption after you get the kidney. ;-)

Saviour Sibling is better than Spare-parts Sibling
