It's cold, raining, and dreary where I am right now, so I hope that wherever you are, it's somewhere a bit nicer. I just finished an amazing book, as I said in my post earlier, called My Sister's Keeper. I've yet to see the movie, but the book was the saddest book I've ever read, as well as one of the best. It has an unexpected ending, so if you think this book might be predictable, it really isn't. From start to finish, it was a beautifully crafted book, an amazing story, and overall really sheds light on families who have to deal with these kids of issues every day, not knowing if their children might live another week, or another year. As I said before, this book is about a normal family whose eldest daughter has a rare form of leukemia. The doctors tell the parents that she will most likely die before she's 5, and out of desperation the parents use their egg and sperm to craft a "designer baby" that's genetically compatible with their daughter, so this baby can give whatever is necessary to help their eldest daughter live. As you can see, this contains a lot of moral as well as legal issues, and I'd love to hear your opinions on the topic.
I found this video on MSN, and it talks about Octomom, Nadia Suleman. It's a preview for a two-hour special that is set to air on August 19th, and while I personally don't believe that all this media attention should be drawn to her, I think that it's interesting to hear what she has to say:
So, what do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks!
Love always,
Olivia
