Parents used an embryo selection process to have a healthy baby that would potentially be a donor match to cure its siblings of a genetic disease. In most cases like this, the children that were created as a "savior sibling" become part of the family, but what happens to those that serve their purpose and aren't needed after that? Embryos that don't meet the donor criteria are discarded. So what happens to the children that donate and cure their siblings, can they be discarded as well (put up for adoption)?
