...selfish vs self-less...fair vs unfair....

I'm reading this book titled - My Sister's Keeper...Recommended by one of my friends.

A very touching yet tear-jerking story.

Kate, is diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL). Anna, her younger sister, is somewhat born because of Kate. Anna's 'created' via In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) - meaning she has the exact same genes as Kate. The minute she's born, she brought to another operation in order to save her sister.

Now that Anna's 13, Kate's condition has worsened over the years. She's got kidney failure and requires immediate transplant. Over the years, her parents have never once asked Anna if she's a willing party to donate her organs, in fact, she felt used her entire life. But she loves her family. Very contridicting. So she decides that she wants to sue her parents for the use of her body. So far, there's where I stopped. Half way through the book.

Each chapter of the book is named after the characters. Meaning, it describes the actions and emotions of the particular character. I like how its written. It gives you perspectives of everyone involved, gives you a feel of what it is like to be in each individual's shoes.

Actually, I do know the ending already. My friend told me. But I just want to read and see how exactly good it is.

I like it...
