Introduction The past few decades have witnessed monumental advances in the health care industry. Through advances in areas such as transplantation and genetic engineering, physicians have been provided with the means with which to restore the health of critically ill patients. Patients who would a few decades ago have been condemned to death due to dysfunctional vital organs in their body can have their health restored through organ transplantations. While donor organs can be obtained from various sources, the probability of successful transplantations is increased when the patient is a genetic match with the donor. This situation has led to the development of a solution known as the “savior sibling”. In this solution, a sibling to a child afflicted by a fatal illness such as leukemia is conceived through genetic engineering. This healthy sibling assists by providing the necessary transplant organs for his/her sick sibling in the future. While this solution increases the chances of survival for the sick sibling since the savior sibling is a healthy genetic match making him/her a perfect donor, the practice raises significant medical, ethical and moral issues. The movie “My Sister’s Keeper”, based on a novel by the same title written by Jodi Picoult, attempts to explore the issues raised by the savior sibling solution. Case Study The movie “My Sister’s Keeper”, directed by Nick Cassavetes, focuses on the consequences of the decision by two parents to create a savior sibling for Kate who is their sick first-born daughter. Kate suffers from leukemia and because of her condition, she is constantly sick. While at a young age, Kate’s doctors inform her parents that she will die within a few years. However, one of Kate’s doctors suggests that Kate’s chances of survival could be greatly increased if she had a genetically compatible sibling who could donate organs and bone marrow tissue to her. The parents are very anxious to extend Kate’s life and they therefore decide to genetically conceive a child who will act as Kate’s perpetual organ donor. Anna is the sibling who is conceived for the primary reason of providing organ or cell transplants for her older sister Kate who suffers from acute promyelocytic leukemia. The movie reveals that Anna is genetically matched to Kate and this makes her a perfect donor. From the time she is five years of age, Anna is forced to go through major medical procedures in order to keep her big sister alive. At the Age of 11, Anna makes the decision to take her parents to court where she seeks medical emancipation. She engages the services of a prominent Attorney, Campbell Alexander, and together they sue for Anna’s parents to be denied some of their parental rights. This would enable Anna to dictate what should be done with her body and free her from her role as Kate’s organ donor. Anna’s attorney argues that Anna should be allowed to decide on how her body is used instead of being used as a body spare part for her sister. The film also shows how Kate’s illness affects the lives of her brother, sister, and parents. Her older brother Jesse feels overlooked since his parents are overly concerned about the sickly Kate. While Jesse is a good brother, he is neglected as his parents focus on Kate and her donor sister Anna. Kate’s mother is overprotective and her inflated concern for her daughter almost jeopardizes her marriage. When Kate gets out of the hospital t
