I think she asked her to to do this because kate is ready to die. She is tired of all these treatments. I think Anna needed to listen because what Anna donates goes to Kate and if kate doesn't want to do treatments there is no reason for Anna to keep donating. The only problem is their mother. I don't think she will let Kate give up.I think Anna and Kate did the right thing, but i think Kate should have talked to her parents about this instead of getting Anna involved and in trouble.
I think discussing the issue with their parents would have been a good start. On the other hand, I do not think that their parents would have listened to them. I think hiring a lawyer was drastic, but it might have been the only way to accomplish their wishes.
I agree, I think since it was Kate who wanted the emancipation that Kate should have been the one going through all of this. However, Kate was already going through a lot and having to fight with her parents would have just added on to it all.
I agree, i think that once the patient is done believing in themselves,there is no reason for trying because they have given up on themselves and this makes all the difference in the world.
Kate had her own reasons for wanting Anna to sue for medical emancipation. As a reader, I was shocked to discover this twist. Kate wanted Anna to be free from the burden of keeping her alive. Kate felt like she caused Anna enough suffering. Anna was not able to have an authentic childhood experience because of Kate's illness. Kate thought if she were to die, her family would be able to live normal lives. Also, Kate did not think the transplant would work. After the many unsuccessful treatments she had already undergone, Kate was ready to be done. She had finally came to terms with her illness and the thought of death. Anna did the right thing when she listened to Kate's wishes. It is not fair for Anna and her family to make Kate suffer any more if she is ready to be done. Kate knows what is best for her body and life. Her wishes may be hard for her family to come to terms with, though.
Kate had an interesting and selfless reason for wanting Anna to sue for medical emancipation. Although she wanted to go to hockey camp and be a normal person, Anna would do anything for her sister. Kate realized this and concluded that this is not what is good for her. After giving blood and bone marrow, giving a kidney would not be good for her health. Also, Anna would be cut from the hockey team for only having one kidney. Kate just wanted Anna to live a normal life. I think Anna was right to listen to her because it is Kate's decision to receive assistance from Anna. If Kate did not want to receive help from Anna, Anna does not have to give it. It was also appropriate for Anna to go to Campbell because if Kate just told her mother that she does not want to involve Anna anymore, Sara would not listen. This was the only way she would "listen" to Kate.
I believe that Kate asked Anna to sue for medical emancipation because Kate wanted to die. She had enough of putting up with the physical and mental exhaustion of dealing with all of the medical treatment and surgeries. Anna was right in this because then she is still ok and she is respecting her sister's wishes.
Kate asked Anna for medical emancipation because she was tired of fighting. She has spent her entire life fighting for her life and she felt she was tired and ready to die. I don’t know that I could say it was either right or wrong. I never think it is okay to let someone die if there’s a way you can save them but I also can’t imagine producing a child just to save another child. I think it has a lot to do with being in that situation. If it was happening to me I’m sure I’d have a different perspective on it all.
The reason for Anna fighting for medical emancipation from her parents was for no one but her sister. Being not only sisters, but friends the two girls were very close and had talked about her illness together. Kate was tired of fighting for her life and was ready to be done with all of the suffering, pain, and doctors. As well as her being done with getting hurt and some of the surgeries and transplants not working she didn't want to hurt her sister Anna any longer. Anna was created to save Kate and Kate was done with only staying alive because of her sister. She felt as though she was hurting her sister by her staying alive and was done.
Also, to the other question... I think that Anna was right in fighting for her sister because it is what she wants. No one knows her body better than Kate does. If Kate was done fighting, there was no reason to hurt Anna because if there is no hope, then they won't last long.

ReplyDeleteI think they should have asked Kate what she wanted. It isn't easy for family but i think what Kate thinks best is the best.

ReplyDeleteI agree that she did it for her sister. Yes, she wanted to be normal, and that may have been some of it. But i think she really did it for her sister.
