Happy Ending

I don’t know why so many people think that the ending of the original book is profound. Maybe there are preconceived factors. Then the movie I watched first, so do you think the ending of the original book is cliché? Perhaps death is more meaningful to Anna, who was born to be a donor of Kate, at least since then, Kate will never receive any donations from her again, and her life is considered to have completed the task ahead of schedule. But on the other hand, it is hard to say that there is no compromise of the author here. After all, the act of donation was implemented. The author didn't have the guts to make his sister really refuse to donate a kidney to her dying sister?

I just want Anna to survive and decide what to do for myself, instead of depriving her of her life after the court has given her the right to decide. Perhaps challenging morals and ethics is a risk, and it will eventually have to pay a price, but I hope there is a clear "victory or defeat", even if there will be no real winners in this struggle. There is only one reason why I am inclined to Anna. She was not born because of a love plan or romantic accident. She is an angel designed to save someone in the name of love. I originally thought that the birth of a person is very unfair. It is not to point out the difference in the birth environment, but that no one has the opportunity to ask you if you want to get involved in this world, but you have to face all the good and bad things in the future. possible. But even this is better than Anna's situation.

There is a paragraph of Sarah’s inner monologue in the book, saying that she and Brian both have copies. Her copy is Jesse, and his copy is Kate. At that time, their sons and daughters were still very young, and Kate was not ill yet, so it was not difficult to feel Sarah's satisfaction. I can't help but wonder if Kate has never been sick, maybe they didn't plan to have a third child at all, because the family of four is already perfect. But they asked for Anna. She was also concerned because she was Kate's angel, but only when she was related to Kate, Jesse was completely reduced to a transparent person and was abandoned by her parents. Such an unbalanced investment ratio is not very acceptable to me, who can only imagine as a child.

I like this theme because it focuses on the donor rather than the process of fighting the disease. It's easy to say, the child has leukemia, and the parents have another one to save the child with cord blood, which seems to be a pair of disposable chopsticks, but how many are so lucky to overcome the disease at one time? Have you ever thought that this pair of chopsticks may have to be used repeatedly, who wants to make such chopsticks? So the question is not whether you should donate kidneys-it is not donating hematopoietic stem cells to a lucky stranger among all living beings, or donating organs to your suddenly ill family members one day in your adulthood-but the meaning of your existence. When you are born as a life-long donor, there are only two situations that can end this relationship. One is that the recipient no longer needs to donate, and the other is that you can no longer donate. But once the premise of your existence disappears, the meaning of your existence also disappears.

From birth to growing up, donate non-stop, parents and you seem to live only for Kate. Anna's over ten years of endurance is not something that we one-time bystanders can understand, so don't easily say that you can accept death as her ending. . There is no happy ending in this story. The two sisters must die, but if you really care about people, the ending of the movie is happy ending-Anna derserved it.

  • [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.
