Doctors in France on Monday announced the country's first birth of a "saviour sibling," selected at the embryonic stage to be a close genetic match to save a brother or sister suffering from a fatal inherited disorder.

The issue has been hedged with moral concerns about so-called designer babies and the morality of conceiving life to help a child with a genetic disorder.

Anyone who understands human nature and the natural concerns that playing God like that is going to do to our society.

I have NO problem with this at all. I hope the umbilical stem cells that this baby will produce will help its brother and sister.
 
I doubt many people care about cord blood. The real issue comes up in cases where a sibling is born to donate an organ.
 
Personally, I think it's barbaric. The sibling being used as just a farming agent for body parts...that's just....wrong.
