[Preimplantation genetic diagnosis in order to choose a saviour sibling].
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis with HLA matching in order to bring about the birth of a saviour sibling is not mere instrumentalisation of the future child, as long as the post natal test is used and the future child will be looked after with the same love and care as if he/she had not been selected as well for the purpose.
