My Sister's Keeper
So far in the book "My sister's keeper," by Jodi Picoult, published February 2005, the main character talks about how she lives with her family which consists of her sister, her brother, her mother, and father. She shares a bedroom with her older sister who has been diagnosed with luekemia. In these few chapters, she explains how her parents had her perfectly genetically created to match every gene of her older sister. The purpose of this was for her to basically be a host for materials that her sister will need in the future. She is expected to donate anything her sister might need a transplant of. I think that it would be sad to feel like you were only created to be a source of materials for a dying person. That would be really hard to deal with and i think it would also be hard to be able to love your sister if you were only originally created to keep her alive.
