Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill

I am grateful for that intervention, but scrutiny in the other place showed that although whole organs are excluded, many other tissues are not. This raises the spectre of the deep insecurity that would be bred through Toby's continual wondering whether mummy and daddy will still love him if he cannot make his brother well. Just think of the emotional hang-up for young Toby in thinking that mummy and daddy are willing to hurt him for the benefit of Noah. The doubt that would come from a child's knowing that they were not wanted in their own right but merely as a hope for the ““truly loved”” older child could be incredibly damaging.
