My sister's keeper

If I was Judge DeSalvo, I would have given Anna the right to her own body, but also appointed a responsible adult as the care taker of her medical power of attorney until the age of eighteen. I would do this because even though she is young, Anna has the right to her body. Even if she want to give her sister a kidney, she should have the right to say she wants to, rather than be forced to. Campbell probably sees Sara as a mother, who did not do the right thing. She may have been keeping Kate alive, but never had much concern for Anna and how the donations were affecting her. As a lawyer however, Campbell probably thought Sara was doing the right thing because she was doing what she thought was right.
