My Sister's Keeper

I have started this book but i am only a couple of chapters into it.

I cannot imagine being born for the sole reason of saving my sister by giving her bone marrow. I also cannot imagine having to live like Anna does. I mean a few times maybe but having to go through this painful procedure so many times just to keep her sister alive, it must be awful. Even with this in mind I still don't think I would be able to make the decision to basically let my sister die because of it. She is suing for her own body, so she will probably win because you can't force someone to give up their own organs. However, when she wins she will no longer provide for her sister and the next time she gets sick she will probably die.

  2. "Even with this in mind I still don't think I would be able to make the decision to basically let my sister die because of it." I agree; it seems Anna is in a no-win situation.
