I saw a famous book named the sister’s keeper in theses days. Since I borrow it from my roommate, I was deeply attracted by the book. The book was not like the ordinary novel, it discussed about a younger sister was born to protect her sister’s health. Due to her sister, Kate, was founded that she had blood cancer, Kate’s parents were trying hard to let their young daughter survive. Trying a lot of medical treatment, Kate didn’t recover but sick ill. Therefore, Kate’s parents decided to born another child to provide Kate appropriate blood, or even the organ. Compared with the ordinary character, Anne, strived to fight for her own right. She didn’t want to be control by her parents. She felt that she was isolated by her parents, because they put most attentions on their sick daughter. Hence, Anne decided to seek for a lawyer’s help, let the court give her the right which she should have. I deeply thought about this problem which happened in the story when I started to read the book. It was a controversial issue in the modern society. Because the advanced medical treatment, many parents were allowed to make a perfect baby which they wished. I considered that the problem which happened in the story may also happen in the real world. Many test-tube babies were expected to save their sisters or brothers. Although they did not have any diseases, they must go to the hospital to donate their blood as often as possible. They did not have any chance to say no, but were seem to do what they must do. As a consequence, I was surprised that the author could write in a totally different concept, and it is why let me spend so many hours in order to finish it as soon as possible.
