Journal Entry 2

Claim- Conceiving another child in order to save a previously exsisting child is not always detrimental.
Data- When surgeries are performed on young babies their memory is still developing so later years in life they will not have any recollection of the incident, nor the pain they may have experienced. Not always will the child receive complications and the outcome ( if possible.) Will be greater because you are saving your childs life.
Warrant- It is not fair to the child being born because it is viewed as if the parents are just using the child selfishly to save their oldest child. It seems as though the child is a Ginea Pig with no significant value and was just birthed to save another.
Grounds- If the parents a loving, caring unit the child will be just as cared for as the first born. It is not true that the family will not care for the second child or like him/her less just because their purpose was to save their sibling.
Backing- Many also believe that if the child was not originally wanted that the parents will not take as good care of him/her as they would the first one.
Qualifiers- Although, some parents are not as considerate as other the chances of a child being neglected or abused as a donor child are slim because that child is a necessity to the family as a unit. That child is what can possibly keep their sibling alive and neglecting the child will greatly reduce the childs will and ability to donate anything valueable without endangering his/her own life.
