'Is it ethical to have a child for the purpose of saving the life of another child?'Recent cases, high-profile films and books from around the world including the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States have brought a new type of IVF to the public's attention. “Embryo selection” means “Embryos are fertilized outside the body and only those with certain genes are selected and implanted in the uterus.” From now on this means that doctors are now able to select specific embryos and implant them into the mother of someone who might have another sick child in order to obtain genetic material such as bone marrow that will match the unlucky child and thus, hopefully , be able to save their child. life. Creating a "savior brother". “A child conceived through selective in vitro fertilization as a potential source of donor organs or cells for an existing brother or sister with a life-threatening medical condition,” a definition given by Oxford Dictionaries (1.0). Cases of this type are occurring all over the world and many are highly documented. The most famous case could be noted in the fictional book "My Sisters Keeper" by Jodi Picoult.

Additionally, this will also allow the entire family to move to the United States when the child turns 21, allowing the entire family to have a better quality of life and a more prosperous future. This is therefore the extreme and is not mandatory. It's not about saving a life but about creating a so-called "perfect child" when that child grows up knowing that no one is perfect.
