My Sisters Keeper Discussion

For this case study, I want you to post your opinions below. This should be at least 500 words. I have some prompts below to get you thinking, but you do not have to use these. I just wanted to help get you thinking. If you utilize a source, please cite it. 

-What is the main ethical Dilemma? 

-Do you agree with Anna's decision to sue her parents? If you were the judge, would you have made the same decision? 

-Which character do you like the most? Who do you like the least? Why? 

-Do you agree with Sara that Anna should give her sister a kidney?  

-Do you think Sara is a good mother? Do you sympathize with her? How does her martyrdom affect the rest of the family? 

-Did the movie end as you expected? 

-What do YOU think YOU would do as the mom of Anna? 

-Discuss the ways each family member copes with their situation. How are each of their identities affected by Kate? How does this affect Kate? 

-Do you think it is ethical to have a "designer baby" like Anna was? 

-Discuss the consequences of the trial other than the ruling. In what ways does it force people to deal with issues in their relationships? Sara and Brian? Anna and her parents? Julia and Campbell?
