I don't see it quite like that......money is a factor when bringing up children, but there is much help for parents from the state.
I think saviour siblings will be saviours of not just the ill child but also of the parents too. Many parents who lose a child will eventually be split by the grief.
It doesn't cost much more to bring up an extra child...after all many of the things that are needed, will already have been bought for the first child.
