Background and Purpose: Recent advancements in medical science have prompted thoughtful physicians to utilize new research in efforts to treat and enhance human health. Among the emerging issues in medical science is the use of the "savior sibling" process to treat a sick brother or sister. Savior siblings refer to the creation of a genetically identical human being to provide biological materials, such as blood, bone marrow, or even organs, for a sick sibling
Materials and Methods: This study, organized through a descriptive-analytical method and utilizing library resources, aims to explore the legitimacy or prohibition of creating a child as a donor sibling (savior) through an analysis of relevant jurisprudential arguments. The importance of this discussion arises from the existing conflict between the permissibility and prohibition of creating savior siblings.
Results: We seek to answer whether this form of selection is legitimate according to jurisprudential arguments or if it should be prohibited. On the one hand, prohibiting this action may lead to the death of some children in need of a savior sibling donation, while on the other hand, savior siblings may face risks and consequences due to their role as donors.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this research is that jurisprudential evidence indicates the legitimacy of this action, provided that certain rules and conditions, such as mutual benefit for both parties, are observed.
