Un bébé pour sauver notre fils

A Baby to Save Our Son

A Geneva-based couple have a child, Noah, who has a genetic disease. They decide to have another baby, but not just any child. Conceived in vitro, the new baby must be genetically "compatible" with their sick son, "to come to his aid." Thus, by genetic magic, Elodie is born. Now a year old, she has given her blood and some of her bone marrow to her brother, imprisoned in his bubble. Thanks to his sister, Noah is on his way to being cured. This reportage relates the unusual destiny of this family involved in a unique experiment in Switzerland.
