My Sister's Keeper


I really enjoyed My Sister's Keeper. This was a really interesting bioethical storyline. I had wanted to read this book for a long time and I'm glad that I did. I finally got it on hold at the library and devoured it. The story involves a 13 year-old girl that wants medical emancipation from her parents because they want her to donate a kidney to her sister. Interestingly enough, she was biologically engineered to be a perfect donor match for her sister that has leukemia. It's definitely a thought-provoking book. I would recommend it.

I'm also excited, because there is a movie of it coming out in June sometime, I think. Hopefully it's as good as the book.
