I believe that parents are not morally justified in having a child simply to provide life-saving medical care to another child or family member, but this does not mean that creating siblings Salvatores is morally inadmissible. By having a child solely to provide life-saving medical care, you simply treat it as a means rather than an end for the individual child. By having the child solely as a means to save another, you are violating this savior sibling as you treat him as a source of spare parts that can be used by the sick child in order to solely promote the prolonged life of the currently sick one. child. This view that having a child merely as a way to provide medical care does not consider the multitude of other avenues this newborn may take and assumes that the child will only be used for the sole purpose of providing life-saving medical care through the use of stem cells or organ donation. What this view fails to consider is that these savior siblings are valued by families for much more than simply as a human bag of good cells and organs that can be used to save the life of the original child. Instead, these savior siblings can be evaluated like normal children, meaning they can be evaluated in the same way that any other child who is born is evaluated, but at the same time they will also be able to provide life-saving care to their sibling. My opinion parallels that of Claudia Mills who argues that it is acceptable to have a savior sibling, but at the same time we cannot have a child for purely instrumental reasons, and instead we should value the child more for their intrinsic worth . Mills presents his argument by putting... in the middle of the paper... sic quality, I think the savior brothers are only allowed to the extent that the savior brothers' life prospects are not hindered by whatever they give to the brother who has some debilitation . In this sense, if the family induces some negative effect on the savior sibling that will inhibit his prospects like any other normal child, then I believe that having the savior sibling for that family is not morally permissible. This would limit the creation of savior siblings to only those families who would truly value the child for more than their health and their help towards the sickly child, but would also value them for the person they are.
