Genetic screening technologies involving pre-implantation genetic
diagnosis (PGD) raise particular issues about selective
reproduction and the welfare of the child to be born. How does
selection impact on the identity of the child who is born? Are
children who are selected for a particular purpose harmed or
treated as commodities? How far should the state interfere with
parents' reproductive choices? Currently, concerns about the
welfare of the child in selective reproduction have focused on the
individual interests of the child to be born. This book
re-evaluates the welfare of the child through the controversial
topic of saviour sibling selection. Drawing on relational feminist
and communitarian ethics, Michelle Taylor-Sands argues that the
welfare of the child to be born is inextricably linked with the
welfare of his/her family. The author proposes a relational model
for selective reproduction based on a broad conception of the
welfare of the child that includes both individual and collective
family interests. By comparing regulation in the UK and Australia,
the book maps out how law and policy might support a relational
model for saviour sibling selection. With an interdisciplinary
focus, Saviour Siblings: A Relational Approach to the Welfare of
the Child in Selective Reproduction 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.
