'Should heroes be constructed? A Sociological extended literature review of identity, autonomy, and beneficence surrounding the Saviour Sibling debate’
Criminology with Sociology Dissertation
Anderson (2019)
I previously studied Criminology with Sociology at the University of Nottingham, before finding myself studying Pattern cutting at a master's level. I have always been drawn to research projects, particularly ethical debates related to sociology and fashion. This dissertation explores Saviour Siblings, children who were born and created to be a direct match for organ donation to their chronically ill sibling. I explored the ethical implications of saviour siblings through sociology, criminology, and biomedical ethics frameworks, focusing on identity, autonomy, family dynamics, and media representation.
