so mylotters, there is movie coming out called my sister's keeper. it got me thinking, i am curious about your take on this, do you think that it is fair for parents to have another child because one of their children has a terminal illiness and needs an orgn transplant. the newly born child would be an ideal candidate for the said transplant. how many of you out there think that it is completely messed up. having a child just so you can harvest the organs to save another child. would you do that. furthermore, what psychological implications would this then have for the child, knowing that the only reason that they were born was to save their sibling's life. would this make the child feel that they are not as important as the other sibling but merely an organ donor who was not really wanted?

Question: 1.the purpose to give birth to another child is for rescuing the first child's life, is it equal for the second child? 2.if fetch organ from the second child, will it diminish his/her health? 3. whether the parents or doctor can really represent the interests of the second child? 4.if give birth to another cild is just in order to obtain the organ tissue of their body, is it acceptable by public?

to answer your question i mean actually setting out to have another child so that you can save the first child with organs harvested from the other one, like maybe a piece of liver, or a kidney that sort of thing. an organ that the other child can spare and still be able to live.
