The general concept is that you 'create' a child who can then be used to treat a child previously born with a disease.

I don't see a problem with it in princple. I think in theory a family could have two healthy children. I don't think it's selfish of the parents either, I can't speak for anybody because I'm not suffering from serious illness, but I can't imagine its a pleasent thing to live with for the rest of their lives.

On the other hand the ethics creap in, how do you legislate it? How do you stop children being created for 'spare parts'

What do you think?
