BY LifeSiteNews.com LEEDS, England, January 9, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An immigrant couple told they cannot create a designer baby for spare parts to save their three-year-old son, who has the blood disorder thalassaemia, have vowed to take their quest abroad in search of a doctor willing to create a spare parts baby for their son.  Britain’s High Court ruled in December that the couple, Raj and Shahana Hashmi, could not use IVF technology to select a perfect match embryo for little Zain. According to BBC News, the couple have vowed to challenge that decision in the House of Lords.  “We as parents should be allowed to have a choice and we are choosing an option that will give our son a life that is disease and pain free. Anybody who has ever loved know they will go to the ends of the earth to help the person they love. We will follow our instincts.”  For BBC coverage see:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2643483.stm For related coverage see:  COUPLE ‘DEVASTATED’ THEY CANNOT HAVE ‘DESIGNER BABY’ FOR SPARE PARTS http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2002/aug/02080208.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/british-couple-wants-designer-baby-for-spare-parts/
