My Sister's Keeper

I started this book today when I got home. I am half way done with it.

It doesn't make sense that Anna is being forced to be a donor for Kate. No one had asked her if she wanted to be a donor. Her mom just assumed it since she had the ideal organs and blood for the job. It is also wrong to just have Anna to save Kate's life. The parents didn't have another kid for the sake of having another kid, they didn't to save the kid they were losing. What happens if Kate dies? I predict Anna would be labeled the girl whose organs didn't save her sister.

I can't imagine what this whole ordeal is to Anna. She probably feels really left out. Only paid attention to when the time was urgent. If this ever happen to me I might file a lawsuit as well. Anna has full right to be in control of what she donates to her sister.

In the book, Anna was reading a pamphlet about kidney transfers. When she started to read about the side affects of having this transfer. She was right in saying that when someone goes through getting a cavity drilled or a wart removed it's themselves that have a positive affect on it in the long run. But this kidney transfer isn't going to help Anna in the long run it's going to benifit only Kate.

To me it seems that the mom doesn't understand the predicament Anna seems to be in. She is just so driven to save her first daughter that she is neglecting the care of her other daughter. She never asked Anna her opinion or position in this, she just assumed that Anna would be the donor since she was made especially for this job. I think that the father is the one who truly understands what Anna is facing. I predict that the father will suppport Anna's decision in the lawsuit.

I am really excited to finish the rest of this book!
