I agree totally with Anna and her decison to file for medical emancipation. I don't think her parents (mostly her mother though) should make her give up one of her kidney's. For someone like Anna, who plays sports (hockey) having only one kidney will mean that she cannot do any of those physical activities again.
The mother agrivates me sometimes when I read what she says and does. The only reason she had Anna was to be a donor for Kate. She thinks that Anna is sueing her because she wants the attention, but that is not true at all. She never listens to Anna's side of the story and only thinks about Kate and how this will benefit/hurt her. Look at Jesse for instance. Sara anad Brian are always so caught up with Kate that they never gave him the attention he deserved. At 18, he already drinks, does drugs, and is an arsonist! Sara even has a bad effect on Brian. Brian sometimes doesn't even want to go home and have to face what's going on at his house.
I think that Sara needs to realize that Kate will die, and there is nothing she can do about it. Giving her a new kidney will only put her back into remission for so long. Anna should be able to live her life without always being put into the hospital every time Kate does. I know what will happen because I have already read this book, but from where I am so far, I agree with Jesse when he told Julia he was not his sister's keeper. It's unfortunate that Anna cannot say the same thing.
