I saw this movie when it first came out with my mom and sister. Its based on a book by Jodi picult. I thought it was really good. I haven’t read the book but my mom and sister both did. They both said they ended different. In the movie, a girl gets leukemia and no one in her family has a blood or bone marrow match to her. She needs bone marrow and blood transfusions regularly. So her parents have another child to match her so she can get what she needs from blood and bone marrow. Then, when the second child is about 12, she sues her parents for rights to her own body. She did this because she knew her sister wanted to die. And this was the only way. So she sued her parents and won. She no longer had to give any of her body to her sister. Her sister and her were very close. The daughter with leukemia pretty much lives in the hospital. In the end, the girl with leukemia ends up dying. Which, is what she wanted because she was so miserable. There’s a lot more to the movie but that’s what it’s based on. I sort of forgot about this movie until just recently. But it’s on my favorites list.
