In such cases as the latter, the parents of these sick individuals are left looking for answers, second and third opinions, and basically anything to save their child's life. Losing a child is a very terrible thing, the pain and sorrow it brings a parent and a family is truly unimaginable, so to avoid having to deal with the death of a child some desperate parents turn to having a "designer baby". A child whose sole purpose for being created is to save the life of another. What threat does this pose to the family and how could this be an ethical or moral dilemma?

In October 2001, Zain was diagnosed with beta thalassemia major. This is a serious genetic blood disorder, in which a critical blood protein (beta globin) is missing from the oxygen-carrying red blood cell

Role Fidelity is not geared toward the physicians and healthcare practitioners in this case; it is geared toward the parents. Both parents come together and decide to create another child for the sole purpose of saving the life of their present child. They are informed about how pre-implantation genetic diagnosis works and they opt to go that route. They are the ones who choose go through with it. There has to be some element of guilt or remorse present.

Zain's parents, Raj and Shahana, with no where else to turn, finally decided to asked the Human Fertilization and Embryo Authority (HFEA) for permission to conceive a sibling by in vitro fertilization to hopefully provide the proper match to save Zain's life. Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) would then be used to select the "right" embryo to have a suitable baby, meaning the embryo with the matching tissue type.

Why not implant these embryos in surrogate mothers, and provide children for those who cannot conceive? These embryos could even be used for further research in scientific medicine. One of the destroyed embryos in this case could have been used in studies to help cure beta thalassemia, or better the lives of people living with the disease. There are multiple other alternatives, the destruction of human embryos should not be one of them. The proposed solution to this ethical dilemma is that the other embryos should not be destroyed, and instead be used in a positive manner.

match. There options were running low and their emotions were running high and time was running out. The Hashmi's were not yet willing to accept defeat and the lost of their child.

Veracity, at this time plays no role, but has the potential of becoming a future problem. Do the parents tell the "designer baby" the truth about why they were conceived? If so, when? Is it fair not to inform the child? Is it safe to hide the basis of one's creation, with the chance that they may one day find out on their own? Imagine how one would feel to find out that the sole reason for their conception or existence was to save a life of another.

Confidentiality is not a current issue and does not affect this case as yet, but this was a widely publicized case. This was primarily due to the parents wanting the media's attention to hopefully sway the decision of the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, but in the end the donor child is publicized as well. Everyone will know that this child was created in order to save the li
