sister's guardian

I don't understand why Kate is dead and we are still alive,
———————————————————

Life is so unfair, some people live happily and peacefully all their lives, And some people are destined to be born outcasts of God.
I am a person who lives in a happy family and has not suffered any setbacks or hardships. But every month, I have dysmenorrhea to the point of crying and powerless. I have taken many medicines and seen doctors, but to no avail. Whenever that time, I always envy those people who are very healthy, why am I not such a person? Why am I going through such pain.
However, everyone's birth is doomed to many things, including family members, including your general appearance, and even personality with congenital characteristics. This world was originally like this. With these various differences, the entire world was constructed.
—————————————————————
Because Kate is ill, she has been the parent’s most important concern. NOTHING ELSE.
—————————————————————
I can understand the feeling. Growing up, my mother always focused on my younger brother, and I was never the first choice among the children. Many, many "eccentric" incidents made me cry, and I felt that the sky was about to fall.
But if you grow an inch, let it go, how can there be absolute fairness and equality in the world. How can we demand absolute fairness even when our hearts are skewed to the left.

    Although it has changed slightly from the novel, it is still very touching.

My Sister's Keeper quotes

  • [first lines]

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: When I was a kid, my mother told me that I was a little piece of blue sky that came into this world because she and Dad loved me so much. It was only later that I realized that it wasn't exactly true. Most babies are coincidences. I mean, up in space you've got all these souls flying around looking for bodies to live in. Then, down here on Earth, two people have sex or whatever, and bam, coincidence. Sure, you hear all these stories about how everyone plans these perfect families. But the truth is that most babies are products of drunken evenings and lack of birth control. They're accidents. Only people who have trouble making babies actually plan for them.

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I, on the other hand, am not a coincidence. I was engineered. Born for a particular reason. A scientist hooked up my mother's eggs and my father's sperm to make a specific combination of genes. He did it to save my sister's life. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Kate had been healthy. I'd probably still be up in heaven or wherever, waiting to be attached to a body down here on Earth. But coincidence or not, I'm here.

  • Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I want to sue my parents for the right to my own body.

    Campbell Alexander: Would you repeat that, please?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I want to sue my parents for the right to my own body. My sister has leukemia. They're trying to force me to give her my body parts.

    Campbell Alexander: You're supposed to give her a kidney?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: She's been in renal failure for months now.

    Campbell Alexander: Well, no one can force you to donate if you don't want to, can they?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: They think they can. I'm under 18, they're my legal guardians.

    Campbell Alexander: They can't do that.

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: Well, I want you to tell them, because they've been doing it to me my whole life. I wouldn't even be alive if Kate wasn't sick. I'm a designer baby. I was made in a dish to be spare parts for Kate.
