If you read or saw My Sister's Keeper you'll know that as a baby, a girl was diagnosed with a special type of leukemia.  Having an exact genetic match would help keep her alive for transplants and whatnot.  The parents decided to make a, I guess you could say, "designer" baby so that child could donate all the necessary organs to her sister.  

My question to you:  Do you think this was right?  I personally think that the parents were selfish in that they could put this new child through almost as much pain as their first daughter in order to save her, which was no guarantee.  Your thoughts?

It's wrong.

That's the point of the book.
