Fetus Hero

Well, the fetus, I'm thinking of, didn't know that he or she was born a hero. At the moment of his/her birth he/she just wanted to be alive. The irony is that this new, small Dane most probably wouldn't have had a life had he/she not been born a HERO.

It all started out with the birth of a very sick child who was in grave need of a bone marrow transplant. To succeed the donor should be closely related and very young - I suspect  that it also has something to do with stem cells, but I don't know for sure - and such a donor may best be designed by science if there isn't any which there wasn't in this case. 

I fully understand why the parents of the sick child wanted a cure, but it's a strange situation that child No. 2 is born as some kind of "spare part" of No. 1 and not for his/her own sake. It wouldn't cost the new child his/her life to have his/her bone marrow harvested, but still ....

"Born a hero"? Naaahhh, not without qualifying the word by adding "victim". He/She became a hero-victim ....
