A fiction about IVF and selection of embryos with the ultimate aim of providing a genetically-matched treatment for an existing child. Weaving through the life of a family rocked by the unfortunate diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) of one of the children, this book details how each member of the family copes, and inevitably raises multiple ethical questions regarding the issue of creating a new life for the sake of saving an existing, threatened one.

A real page-turner. Great for a medic with a 'special interest' in medical ethics, or a budding lawyer excited by the challenges of medico-legal wrangles.
