i wanted have a big brother or sister when i was a kid caz i want someone can protect me when i was bullyed. i want someone can attend me when i was lonely. but this wish be truth? i think i will hate my sise or bro.....

i think Nick Cassavetes want to show the both sides of the families and
patient's feeling
but it can't show clearly in the movie. it makes me feel confuse and it can't show the novel touch
My Sister's Keeper is about Anna Fitzgerald, a 13-year-old girl who enlists the help of an attorney, Campbell Alexander, to sue her parents for the rights to her body. Kate, Anna's older sister, suffers from
acute promyelocytic leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Anna was conceived through
in vitro fertilization to be a
donor who could save Kate's life. Her parents initially use Anna's
umbilical cord blood to treat Kate, and continue to use Anna as a donor for other bodily substances as Kate cycles through
remission and
relapse over the years. Anna is usually willing to donate whatever Kate needs - blood, bone marrow - but a kidney transplant would be a major surgery for not only Kate, but Anna as well and living with one kidney would affect her greatly. Anna eventually petitions for
medical emancipation so that she will be able to make her own decision concerning donating a kidney to Kate, who is experiencing
renal failure. Sara, her mother, is an ex-lawyer and decides to represent herself and her husband in the lawsuit. She continually attempts to convince Anna to drop the suit, but Anna refuses to do so.
