- Title
The Wrong Harvest: The Law on Saviour Siblings.
- Authors
Cherkassky, Lisa
- Abstract
The momentous case of Quintavalle supported the creation of saviour siblings in English law. The House of Lords confirmed that embryos can be selected for social purposes according to the desires of the mother. This article discusses the implications of that decision for the welfare of saviour siblings and argues that harvesting of young saviour siblings is difficult to justify under the current fragmentary law.
