Why Is My Sister's Keeper Unethical

In the novel, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, a child was genetically engineered to become a donor for another child's benefit. This novel covered a story of the genetically engineered child that was trying to fight for the right of her own body with her parents. The novel questioned human ethics and morals and the extent of medical technologies that should be allowed. At the end of the novel, it concluded that there was no correct answer relating to this situation. I realize that it was a hard decision to make between the two, but I viewed Anna’s as unethical in Fitzgerald’s case.

I believe it’s unethical to create a child to meet specific genetic requirements, such as to have higher IQ, or to have a certain physical appearance. Life isn’t something people can pick and choose; it is something that people try to make the best thing out of no matter what they get. I believe it is also unethical to conceive a child to meet certain genetic requirements in most situations, but there is some situation where it is hard to differentiate if it is ethical or unethical.
I think the decision made by Brian and Sara was unethical. They were selfish; not considering the morality of their decision, while leaving out how Anna will feel about this. As a result of their decision, two children ended up suffering instead of just one. They took advantage of being a parent to make their children do what they wanted them to do. They never considered Kate’s feeling when they decided to have Anna, who was basically created for her. No one in his or her right mind will be happy to hear that a genetically engineered child is going to be born and that his or her sole purpose will be to become a donor for his or her
