Umut-Talha, who in turkish means "our hope", is the test-tube baby that will help the sister afflicted with a disease otherwise hopeless.
was born on January 26 last year in France, weighs 3 kilos and 600 grams and is especially healthy. On 26 January, was born in France Umut-Talha, which means in turkish Our Hope. Conceived by IVF, has a genetic background selected to help his older brother suffering from a rare disease. It was given birth Antoine Beclere hospital in Clamart in conjunction with the examination of the French Parliament of a new law on bioethics to be officially voted Monday in the Senate. According to French law on bioethics, which came into force in 2004, the parents of Umut-Talha thanks to him will cure his son suffered from a blood disorder, beta-thalassemia. The baby has been designed as a Child Medication, especially designed to save our brothers. For he has had to resort to in vitro fertilization, embryo implantation with a dual diagnosis to keep it healthy, genetically compatible with the sick sibling, which is actually a sister. In fact, "his arrival in the world should also help to heal her older sister who suffers from a serious illness, "announced the professor René Frydman, Arnold Munnich. Also do not just mean.
THERAPEUTIC APPROACH - The doctors were able to ensure that the baby had not written in the genome of the disease and her parents also had DNA consistent with that little sister to care. At birth, the umbilical cord that connected to his mother Umut-Talha, rich in stem cells, was collected and stored. Stem cells that give rise to blood cells, will be retained for a transplant which will serve to his sister. This practice, first in France, is very rare in the world, although United States practiced, but only in extreme cases, at least a decade. This practice, in France, is spggetta approval of Biomedicine Agency, which issues permits to each case. According to Professor Frydman, who in 1982 gave birth to the first French test-tube baby, the hospital in Clamart occurred several couples wishing to undergo this treatment approach. Projects "that could get through the next two years," he told Le Parisien. BISHOPS AGAINST
- As one would expect, the birth of this child has raised several ethical issues. The President of the Christian Democrat party has denounced Christine Boutin Tuesday a "manipulation of the person conceived simply as a service to use." In the same idea is Cardinal André Vingt-Trois, president of the Conference of Bishops of France. The cleric said he was "strongly opposed" to this technique, because it means that "someone will use instead of helping someone else." Professor Frydman was also accused of being a "designer babies." But he was opposed to the utilitarian and simplistic definition saying that the parents of Umut-Thalat had first intended to expand their family, that would not only give birth to care for her son last year. "After in vitro fertilization, we had two embryos, one compatible and one not." They said. What to do? The couple had authorized the planting of two embryos, because they wanted another child. "Luckily the embryo only compatible then developed in the womb. And if they chose to implant only healthy embryos? If faced with the suffering of the eldest daughter, had decided to allow the embryo to lose sick? What we can say beyond the fact that most will have a good reason - if one more reason it is necessary, it is a beloved son and wanted - for to love our hope?
