Adam Nash, the test tube baby whose living cells were used to save his older sister, is a child whose parents love him dearly. Critics who say there is an ethical problem with his birth don't consider that his parents desperately wanted a second child and that his birth was not just about his use to others. They also confuse testing for a gene with implanting another gene. Choosing the actual genetic traits of the embryo brings societies of genetically engineered "super people" to mind. With the Nash family, however, images of genetically engineered "super people" do not apply: a cell from Adam's embryo was tested for the gene related to Fanconi anemia and to see if it would be a match for his sister Molly. The Nash family wanted another child. The fact that Adam's genes helped the Nash daughter, Molly, was a natural bonus.
