My Sister's Keeper

I watched this movie yesterday and it was a really good one. It focuses on a family with one child having leukemia. The child was diagnosed to have this disease when she was still very young. Of course, her mother, played by Cameron Diaz, did everything for her child to survive. When the doctor suggested a "designer baby", Cameron Diaz agreed almost instantly. A designer baby is one who has been designed to express a controlled set of genes. Now, the baby was designed to be a compatible donor for her sister and ever since she was born she has donated blood, stem cells, etc. to her sister. When she (Anna) turned eleven however, she hired a lawyer to sue her parents. She wanted to be medically emancipated from them because according to her, she wanted to take control of her own body. Now, Cameron Diaz could not understand why she did this because her other daughter was already dying from the leukemia and needed a kidney transplant. Anna's kidney was the only chance that her sister would survive longer but she still refused to donate her other kidney to her dying sister. So why then did Anna file a lawsuit against her parents? Why did she choose to stop donating an organ to her sister? Find out for yourself. It's a wonderful movie. :)
