My Sister's Keeper

After reading the entire book, I can relate this story to something I've watched before. I used to CSI all the time. There was this one episode that was strangely familiar to this book. In the episode, the family had three children, and the second oldest, a boy, had an extreme form of cancer. The parents genetically had a child to be a matching donor for their son. The CSI officers had found the youngest daughter, the donor, dead. They ended up tracing the death back to the cancer brother, who had poisoned his sister because he didn't want her to keep being a donor for his sister. The sister was going to have to give up a kidney for her brother, which he thought was unfair. So he poisoned her so that she would not have to deal with all treatments and donations again.

When I first read My Sister's Keeper about a year ago, I immedietly found the relation between the two subjects. I couldn't figure out how they were so eerily familiar. But I thought how it was really cool how both stories ended the same, with the youngest dying in the end. I mean, Kate didn't poison Anna, but she didn't want Anna to give up a kidney. In the end of the CSI episode, the brother does die because he does not receive a kidney.
