Abstract
"Underlining the physical and psychological ordeal faced by a family to keep a sick child alive, My sister’s keeper brings to the forefront several ethical and moral dilemmas. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to keep one’s child from dying? In this quest, how ethical is it to infringe the rights of the other child? Is it ethical to focus on one child at the cost of neglecting the other children? Is it ethical to bring a life into the world with a vested stake? Under what conditions, should medical emancipation be granted? Should it be granted at all? Is there an appropriate age to seek rights on one’s own body? Ethical issues regarding genetic engineering of humans and distributive justice also emerge."
