Letting her own brother die?

I read the story and really don't understand why she is saying no to her brother. She must truly be a selfish, cold-hearted woman. Her words about puttng her family first make absolutely no sense. Do you think she believes being a donor is life threatening to her I don't think it is, but I am not in the medical field. Maybe she is ignorant to the effects giving her marrow would have on her. I would think she would at least check this aspect out, find out everything. She also runs her own business, right? Maybe she is just thinking she won't be able to work and make money because she did this good deed for her brother. She isn't looking at the big picture. She is only thinking about how this will effect her life, not her brother's and his family. Imagine if she is teaching her own children how to be this selfish and uncaring! God be with Mr. Pretty.

She must be a very selfish, uncaring woman to not want to help to save her brother's life. She's sure not a good example for her own children. I hope she changes her mind. Maybe she is afraid of the procedure, or other things invoved with the tranplant process. I would sure be a donor for any of my relatives if I could help them, or even a stranger. Just saving another human being's life would be worth it.

I just read the story. It is difficult to believe that his sister will not save his life. She must be on an ultimate power trip, knowing his life is in her hands. I can't imagine not saving my brother's life, if I have the power to do so, even if I didn't get along well with my brother. It is the right thing to do to save his life, if not for him, for his family.

That's horrible. If she can donate marrow, then why won't see? If I was in that situation, I would give whatever I could. It just seems like the right thing to do. I can't believe she'd let him die, knowing he has three small children to take care of, and by the looks of it, it's already effecting the children.

I couldn't do it, even though I dislike my brother. I would donate anything to keep him alive or I couldn't live with myself. I'm not sure why she is not doing it. I wish she would be more open with her reasons and then maybe it would be better understood.

If it's a match yeah I'll do it in a heartbeat but if there's nothing I can do then I have no choice but to watch him die and spend more time with him.

If I was a match for my brother, hell yea he is getting some of my bone marrow and he would do the same for me if it came to that point. That person will now have to live with what they did for the rest of their lives.
