My Sister's Keeper

What if the motivation behind your birth was so that they could potentially harvest something in you to save your sibling's life?

And what if you have to be the donor (willingly or not) over .. and over ... for 13 years?  Will there be a time to say: enough already ?

And what if no matter what decision you make, nobody wins.  Because its either one .. or the other ?

I just finished reading this fiction book by Jodi Picoult.  Its a fantastic read.  Really captures the emotions and struggles that revolved around this family with a cancer-stricken member constantly fighting for her life, and the rest simply doing what they they think is best for her. Really sad story.

A very poignant read.
