My Sister's Keeper

[Dedicated Mind]

Has anyone seen the movie, My Sister's Keeper? I cried my eyes out. It's about a girl who was conceived in a test tube to be a bone marrow donor to her sister who has cancer. When she is asked by her mother to give a kidney, she sues her parents for medical emancipation. A great movie with drama about a cancer patient, a devoted mother and a young sister who wants a good quality of life. What do you think about having children as donor babies for sick relatives? A wrenching issue.

I haven't heard of this movie. Sounds very interesting. As for the issue, yeah, wrenching is right. I don't suppose there are any easy answers.

Well I guess if the first child dies anyway, at least you have another?

My Sister's keeper should be her husband.
