well, this might not help you but a book i read a book called “my sister’s keeper” and “handle with care” that have truly touched me.
My sisters keeper, as you mustof heard from the movie (the movie was horrible, by the way 😛 ) is truly touching, and about a dysfunctional family whose parents are so wrapped up with Kates cancer that they ignore Anna, who conicidently is her donor. Anna is born to be her donor, made just for Kate’s cause. However, Anna sues her parents for the rights of her body.
Handle with Care is about Willow, who is born with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease), where if she slipped onto the ground, instead of scraping her knees, would have serious blood loss and be rushed to the hospital. Her mother fights for wrongful birth, suing the doctor. This story is so touching and sad, and truly changed my aspect on life.
Hope i helped
