My Sister's Keeper
by Jodi Picoult

Kate who is is diagnosed with leukemia is always in her mother's eye. From what I read, it seems like all the mother cares about is Kate.
Kate.
Kate.
Kate.
Kate's sister Anna who is a "designer baby" (you know conceived by the genetic way) is Kate's only survival. Anna is Kate's perfect donor match. Anna donates her blood, bone marrow and now has to donate her kidney to her sister. Anna never had a say or a choice. She just had to do it cause that's somehow the reason why her parents had her. So now, Anna is planning to sue her parents for her own rights to her body.

I'm so far 3/4 done with the book. (IF YOU KNOW THE ENDING, DONT SAY!)
It seriously engages you.
Its quite touching too.
While reading, I really don't know who is in the wrong.
Her parents or Anna.

All the mother cares about is Kate. Anna cant even go away for hockey camp as the mum is afraid Kate needs blood or smt so Anna has always got to be on like standby. (kinda selfish?!) But the mother makes it seem like Anna is a "gift from God" kinda thing.
The mother only notices Kate. Anna and her brother, Jesse, are like smoke. invisible to her.

I don't blame Anna for wanting medical emancipation. but sue?
haha.

so who really is in the wrong?

I don't really like the idea of dying by
CANCER
and
DIABETES

if had cancer, you have to undergo chemo. which means you go bald.
if diabetes, you have gangrene black toes and might have to amputate your toe or your whole leg. you can even go blind.
AHH!

but we dont really have a choice of how we want to die right?


so apparently, we are all LIVING our lives right now.
everyone dies in the end yea?
so isnt it right to say that we are also dying?
