I just watched a thought provoking and controversial movie. This movie is called My sister's keeper and it is a real life story. It all happened in Los Angeles, an eleven year old Anna seeks the successful lawyer , trying to hire him to earn medical emancipation from her mother Sara that wants Anna to donate her kidney to her sister.
Her older sister Kate has had leukemia, hence her parents decided to have a designer baby and she was conceived by in vitro fertilization to become a donor. Anna has been donating parts of her body like bone marrow since she was five years old. Being an independent individual , Anna has her own rights to govern over her body. This give me a deeper understanding and feel about designer babies. Previously , designing babies to me are present for a greater good. Without this idea of greater good , they would not be existing in the first place. This movie kind of change my point of view. I had intentional or unintentional overlooked the emotions of the designer baby. Should the world embrace designer baby just to save another innocent child? This is always right? i guess most important is that the designed baby have to agree to do it too.
The movie shows the emotions trauma of the patient and their family. I could not imagine how Sara manage to pull through this. Being a lawyer, she is on the upper class in the society. For her beloved daughter, she quited her job to take care of her. Making sure everything at home is sparkling clean, germs free.While raising a child with cancer, her son had communication problem due to the fact that they focus too much attention on Kate. Fortunately, they manage to help their son to overcome this problem..Later on , more things happened. Having such a family is not easy while other relatives of their give a cold shoulder on them. Yet when Kate's condition has worsen, Sara have to face with the accusation from her another daughter Anna.
At first everyone don't understand Anna, thinking how could she be so heartless to see her sister's live ebbing away while she do nothing. However the story got a big twist where is not Anna's will to sue Sara the mother, it is Kate's idea. The one who have cancer.
I would say it is really a nice movie. All students who are studying GP should watch this movie. I am very sure that Jaya would love this movie as i do.. haha .Jaya , i am waiting for your review!

Life is a stage and we are all actors playing our parts. We have our entrances and our exits. The story has all the taste of life.Regardless it is sweet
bitter or sour, we should not try to avoid it. Despite the fact that we may step back due to fear, since a storm is anticipated, let it be a heavest storm in the century
