dc.description.abstract | Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a procedure that gives hope to desperate
parents in the midst of losing a dying child. However, there are several ethical and moral issues
concerning whether or not parents should be allowed to use PGD in order to create a child
merely on the basis of saving the life of another child. This paper will examine the ethical issues
surrounding using PGD in order to conceive a matched-donor child to save the life of a sibling. | en_US |
