My Sister's Keeper
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult tells the story of a girl who decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body in this riveting story that tackles a controversial subject with grace and explores what it means to be a good person. Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally powerful story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness. Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate—a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister—and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister’s Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child’s life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister’s Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.

Anna ist ein Helfergeschwisterkind. Sie soll ihrer älteren Schwester Kate durch eine Nierenspende das Leben retten. So hatten es ihre Eltern geplant. Deshalb wurde sie gezeugt. Anna möchte jedoch selbst über ihren Körper bestimmen - eine ethisch hoch problematische Dreiecksbeziehung, die im Roman „My sister´s keeper“ und seiner Verfilmung entfaltet wird. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert diese Helfergeschwisterproblematik zunächst in klassischer Weise mit Hilfe von medizinethischen Prinzipien. Die anschließende Betrachtung der in Roman und Film handelnden Personen und ihrer „erzählten Werte“ zeigt jedoch, dass eine prinzipielle Lösung dieses moralischen Dilemmas nicht möglich ist. Jede Entscheidung ist mit der Übernahme von Schuld verbunden. Eine tragische Situation, die darauf hinweist, dass ethische Probleme oft auch eine existentielle Komponente haben, die erst bei der Analyse von konkreten Situationen sichtbar wird.

A classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy, with bonus content including a Q&A with the author. All I've ever wanted is for Juli Baker to leave me alone. For her to back off – you know, just give me some space. Juli has been making Bryce's life hell from the moment they met. All he wants is to live a normal life, without some crazy person mooning after him. The first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped. Honestly, one look at him and I became a lunatic. It's his eyes. But she doesn't see it that way. In her eyes, they're meant for each other, even though he might not realize it yet. That is, until the eighth grade, when everything flips. And just as Juli starts to realize that Bryce may not be all he seemed, Bryce begins to think that there's more to Juli than meets the eye . . . Wendelin Van Draanen's Flipped is a modern-day classic about first love and not judging a book by it's cover. A romantic comedy-of-errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices.
