There's no ethical or practical reason that parents should not be allowed
to conceive a child and make the decision not to grow the new embryo beyond
the stage required to save their already-born ill child. This would solve
the problem of bringing unwanted children into the world. But I agree with
Damien that in most cases the life-saving child would be grown to term,
welcomed into the world, and greatly loved and appreciated by the parents
and the rescued sibling.
