I'm reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult!! I love it!
I think Anna's family is in a really tough situation and if I were Anna's mother I would have no idea how to handle this issue because you can't just stand back and watch your child die. However, right now, I am siding with Anna because I don't think that her parents should be able to control her body and organs. It isn't fair to continuosly ask her to give up body parts for Kate who is likely to die soon anyways. Their family has gotten ripped apart because of this scandal and Anna has had to go live with Julia, a woman assigned to help her with her case. If Anna wins her case, Kate wil die, and if Anna looes her case, her family will never be the same again and have a lot of tension in it.
The idea of being able to design your child scares me a lot and I don't really think its right. Even if you are trying to save a child like Kate by having a daughter like Anna, its like you are choosing one child over the other. Like I said earlier, people may abuse the system and not only use it to help a child with a mental disability but also raise their child's IQ so that they are capable of being the next Einstein, which is so wrong. You could also make your child extremely gorgeous or a star athlete and I just don't think that its natural.
