Argument Article

The claim being made in this article is whether it is morally justified or not to birth another child in order to save an older siblings life. This type of claim is Value. It is a value claim because it varies from person to person. Many individuals feel that having a child for the sole purpose of saving another is not morally just. Mostly because it comes off as if the parents do not care for the other child in hopes to save the other. However, now 18 years later the bone marrow donor, who saved her sister, is living a happy normal life. She is not affected by what happened to her at such a young age of two. Although the process of extracting bone marrow is painful at such a young age it did not impact her now. The family is now happy with two healthy daughters.
