There are dark circles under little Zain Hashmi's eyes, the legacy of the genetic blood disorder that will kill him sooner or later unless he gets the treatment he needs. The chances of a normal life for children like him hinge on the outcome of a case which in due course will trundle its way to the court of appeal and, possibly, on to the House of Lords, the highest court in the land.

At issue is whether his parents, Raj and Shahana, should have the right to create a new sibling whose tissue type matches Zain's and whose umbilical cord blood could be used to cure the sick four-year-old. Embryos produced by the parents would be screened, and any which matched Zain's tissue type and were free of his illness, beta thalassaemia, would be implanted in Mrs Hashmi's womb.

The human fertilisation and embryologyauthority (HFEA), which regulates in vitro fertilisation, already licenses clinics to perform pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which allows parents at risk of having a child with a genetic disorder to have their embryos screened and only unaffected ones implanted. Allowing tissue typing with PGD is a step farther, but the HFEA decided for the first time, in the Hashmis' case, to allow the procedure to go ahead.

'All we wanted was to save our son':
Zain Hashmi could be cured by blood from a new sibling
- but the law lags behind reproductive technology, says Clare Dyer,
