Saviour Siblings A Relational Approach to the Welfare of the Child in Selective Reproduction
Biography
Michelle Taylor-Sands is a senior lecturer in the Melbourne Law School at the University of Melbourne and has advised the Victoria government on assisted reproductive treatment. Michelle is published in the field of saviour sibling selection and the welfare of the child to be born.
"Taylor-Sands’ analysis of the issues and her call for regulation which is more sophisticated than the individualised approach common in discussion of the issues is a breath of fresh air. Saviour Siblings is a most impressive piece of medico-legal scholarship. It is tightly and thoughtfully written. It is the most important contribution thus far on the issue and will be an important reference point on the topic for some time to come. This is particularly important as every indication is that technological advances will result in selective reproduction becoming an increasingly significant and available option and, accordingly, there wil be a need for both a moral compass and a viable regulatory scheme in respect of such decision-making. Taylor-Sands’ Saviour Siblings takes the debate on these issues forward in a logical, empathic and constructive direction."
