Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]

I have been listening carefully, and I have a genuinely open mind on this bit of the Bill, but many of my constituents are deeply concerned about the concept of saviour siblings. Will the Minister at least acknowledge their fear that a saviour sibling who is born and then fails in their cord blood, marrow or part of an organ to fulfil one of the purposes for which they were born—to save another child—might be left utterly bereft and despondent? That is a concern that many of my constituents have for such children in the future.
