I agree with the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in England. This is due to the nature of the operation. The operation will bring a human being into life, with the sole purpose of being used to sustain another’s life. This is definitely against human nature, as the Whitaker family did not even consider the embryo as a human being, to them, he/she is just many blood making cells. This is cruel beyond belief as they are bringing a human being into the world, but not providing it with the chance to live life at all. I cannot believe that the Whitaker family would come up with such a request. Even though their son is suffering from a disorder, it is morally incorrect to save him through another’s demise. Also, for humanitarian reasons, this cannot be done as, it is simply not humane and the consequences of this operation being allowed to perform will change the way certain people view their fellow human beings. If this operation was to happen, many other people whom are in need and desperate to save themselves or their loved ones, will follow the Whitaker family’s example, resulting in a chaotic situation in which human rights is undermined, this is therefore the decisive reason why this operation should never be allowed. In the article, it is stated that in many other countries, this operation does not require a procedure in which the person must obtain government permission to perform the operation. The Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in England have done as great job in its reasoning and decision-making. It rejected this request by stating that it was not right to create a human life with the express intent of saving another life, in other words, you do not ruin a life to save another. Therefore, I strongly believe that all the countries should take up England’s stance on this situation, this is the morally correct path, and this stance will show that the country recognizes each of its citizens and every single individual in the world as a human being.
