Miracle cure thanks to PGD and 'savior sibling'
Hallelujah! Charlie Whitaker, a toddler ill with a rare and life-threatening blood disorder, has been pronounced cured after receiving a transplant of the umbilical blood from his brother Jamie. Jamie was conceived using PGD, a technique which uses genetic screening to choose a tissue-matched embryo. The Whitakers were forced to travel from Britian to the US for PGD treatment, after the UK government heartlessly refused to permit the use of PGD in their case.
May the Whitaker family continue to enjoy the blessing of health and every happiness!
