Im back!
I just wanted to say Im sorry for not posting for awhile. I seemed to have some computer issues, but Im here now! I just got done watching a movie called, My sisters keeper. It is one of the most touching movies I think I've every seen. Creating a human only for the use of her body parts. This is a touchy subject today. So if you in a slightly gloomy mood and feel like curling up in your favorite blanket and crying your eyes out, watch this movie!
Conceived by means of vitro insinimation, Anna Fitzgerald was brought into the world to be a genetic match for her older sister, Kate who suffers from acute promyelocytic leukemia, in order to keep her alive. Her family members are introduced one by one and each tells about how Kate's illness has affected them personally. When Kate turns 15, she goes into renal failure. Eleven-year-old Anna knows that she will be forced by her parents to donate one of her kidneys. She also realizes that she may not be able to live the life she will want to lead - she may be unable to cheer-lead, play soccer, or be a mother. Anna tells her parents that she does not want any of this, and proceeds to sue them for medical emancipation and the rights to her own body. Her extremely overprotective mother, Sara, who leads an obsessive campaign to keep Kate alive, is indignant at Anna's decision and even strikes her across the face when she receives the notice of court proceedings. Attorney Campbell Alexander, agrees to work for Anna as her guardian ad litem, suing for partial termination of parental rights. It is later learned he agreed to take the case not for the notoriety, but because he has epilepsy and understands her predicament of not having control over her own body.
