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

By Michelle Taylor-Sands

Genetic screening technologies involving pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) raise particular issues about selective reproduction and the welfare of the child to be born. This book re-evaluates the welfare of the child through the controversial topic of saviour sibling selection. From analysing existing Australian and UK legal frameworks for regulating saviour siblings, the author proposes a new relational model for selective reproduction. With an interdisciplinary focus, the book will be of particular interest to academics and students of bioethics and law as well as practitioners and policymakers concerned with the ethics of selective reproduction.
