James Whitaker recently became the first British baby born after
embryo screening with tissue typing. Meanwhile, the Hashmis have won
their legal battle for treatment in the UK to have their own 'saviour
sibling'. Is it right to create a baby for the benefit of someone
else? This event, made possible by a grant from the UK Department of
Health, brings together some of the most influential voices from
opposite sides of this topical debate.
