Do you think it's morally or ethically right for the parents to conceive a child soley for the purpose of using him/her as a donor for another child?
Is it also morally or ethically right to select a specific characteristics of genetics that you want for a child you want to conceive(instead of say head colour or IQ, you selected out one with a specific genetics.)?
Do parents have the right to force a child to help another person given there will be some suffering invovled?
What would you do if it was you?

Mugss has a lot to live for, I would certainly hope she would. Im not sure I would forgive someone sentencing themself to death while I walked around with the ability to help them.
Does society have an obligation to help someone else by donating their own body parts to help them live? Is it morally wrong if you choose not to which applies to 99% of the population?

"In 2019, 548 deceased organ donors and 239 living donors gave 1,683 Australians a new chance in life. The majority of Australians are generally willing to become organ (76%) and tissue (76%) donors. Less than 1% of people die in hospital in the specific circumstances where organ donation is possible."

It's no moral, or immoral, obligation to comment on or even read threads you feel "push your buttons"...
