Essay my sister’s keeper

"I'm not a coincidence, I was engineered" Anna Fitzgerald, a "designer baby," who was genetically designed, conceived, and born to be a perfect genetic match for her older sister, Kate, who suffers from a rare childhood leukemia .this is related to class because Anna the genes (the basic unit of DNA) have been altered to improved them for she to pass her organs to another person. They took the egg of her mother and the sperm of his father to make a perfect combination of genes. In other words Anna was a savior sibling the creation of a genetically matched human being in order to be the savior of a sick child in need of a donor, those are the ‘’ designer babies’’. Role off “Savior Siblings” (SS)

• SS can donate umbilical cord blood stem cells at birth

• Latter in life,, SS can donate bone marrow

• Donor receives Growth Hormone injections for 3 days prior to bone marrow donation

• After donation, donors may feel stiff, sore, tired for 2-3 days and may not fully recover strength for 3-4 weeks

• SS can also be a potential organ donor

when they take Anna’s father’s sperm and mother’s egg (gametes) they has been hooked up by fertilization forming a zygote, every egg have 23 chromosomes and a sperm has 23 chromosomes (two sets of haploid chromosome). Anna was engineered because Kate need a perfect HLA(human leukocyte antigen) embryo match in order to receive cord blood.

In the world it exists many persons as Kate that they are in better, worse or equal conditions than she but something very special that we can observe in these persons is that without importing his status or his physical conditions are his desire of living, his maturity, his way of thinking about the life what helps to continue to ahead. In the conflicts that appear in the movie the one that mas I am called myself the attention is the reason of Ana's birth, I found this action of the parents tremendously unjust, selfish and desperate.

That had happened if simply kate had been a healthy and healthy girl, without problems?
