Saviour Siblings

The video discusses the ethical and legal challenges faced by Charlie's parents in seeking a cure for his dangerous blood condition. Charlie requires a bone marrow transplant, which necessitates a tissue match from a sibling. Due to legal restrictions in the UK, his parents undergo IVF treatment in the USA to find a match. The ethical debate centers on whether it is right to create a new life to save an existing one, with concerns about 'designer babies' and the rights of the unborn child. Ultimately, Charlie's new brother is born as a saviour sibling, offering him a chance at a normal life, but the ethical debate continues.
