The Hunt Is On!

I know, I know, I havent updated in a long time! Lol... I really haven't been very free. The only times I am free, I spend it with my loveleee friends who are VERY VERY understanding people. =)

Today Joan, Von and ME! went shopping... hmmms.. and bought PRESSIES! Nice preeeetteee pressies for my little buddies. Lol... I shall give you guys notice first: I AM NOT BUYING THE MALES IN LOG ANYTHING THIS XMAS

lol... hahah. No, it's not a feminist movement (as Evonne describes it) but a mere ...hmmm... choice preference? lol.

Bought a present for *hint hint hint* "blushing boy" though... lol =) hahahahha SO CUTE!! He's the only 'boy' I'm buying the pressie for. Hahaha... Evonne asked why, and I said because he blushed at me! hahah .. but then I suddenly remembered that Justin K blushes sometimes too... lol.

But I really shouldn't get Justin a pressie though...hahah his mom might start thinking I'm crushing on him or something... especially after the "honey" fiasco during CNY. lol.. Maybe it can become a usual event! hahah every special occassion I shall do something to shock Justin's mom. hahhaha. Maybe for this Xmas I buy him wedding rings...hahahha Just kdg.. don't want no heart attacks on my hands!

I think that 'he who must not be named' should actually come and live with me for a few months. I think he will learn a lot from his stay with me. Firstly, he wouldn't be such a darn lazy boy, and secondly, he would DEFINITELY learn how to CHASE a girl PROPERLY.

Grr... guys are just SO clueless sometimes. It's like you have to print a NEON sign for them and Stick it up their nose before they start noticing something's wrong. (well duh.. if you stick it up their nose they can't breathe and when they suddenly find they aren't taking in oxygen, they'll start to notice something's wrong) =P

Sigh... ranting again... grr... I think after the long break from bloggin I'm not to used to it anymore.. lol. I guess this will take some time for me to warm up again huh? Hahaha.. As for my other site, I've already got some ideas in the works... I shall write a trashy romance for my dirty minded blushing boy. =) Just kdg. You'll need to pay to read that!

SLeepY. Hope I won't get nightmares again tonight...

My Sister's Keeper

I just finished reading 'My Sister's Keeper' by Jodi Picoult, and I am I guess, in a tizzy. Because like most good stories, they take what you think is right and turn it into a game of 'but wouldn't doing it be wrong too?' kinda game.

The questions is: If you could use one of your children to save the life of another, are you being a very good mother? Or a very bad one?

The protagonist in this tale is Anna. Plain ol' Anna. But she's a human. And that's what makes her special, what makes her important. Because like any other human, she has rights.

Anna, since the day she was born was never asked, never told, she was just used. She had been used to help her sister fight the losing battle against a rare strain of leukaemia. She'd undergone countless surgeries, transfusions and injections just to save her sister. But now at the age of 13 she is told by her parents that she is going to be giving her kidney to replace her sister's failing one, and Anna... well, wonders what it would be like for once in a life to have a choice. To have the right to say no.

And so she does what no 13 year old should ever have to go through. She sues her parents for the right to protect her own body.

But her mother as she puts it, says that it's not all black and white.

" You think you can lay it all in black and white as if it's that easy. But you're only representing one of my daughters Mr. Alexander, and only in the courtroom. I represent both of them equally, everywhere, every place. I love both of them equally, everywhere, every place.

"But you've admitted that you've always considered Kate's health, not Anna's, in making these choices. So how can you claim to love them equally? How can you say that you haven't been favouring one child with your decision?"

"Aren't you asking me to do that very thing? Only this time to favour the other child?"

So the question that Anna's Mother faces is simply: Would I use one of my children to save my other?

Would we?
Legally, we have no right, I think to force anyone to do anything against their will. Especially when it comes to something as substantial as an invasive operation. Legally, Anna should be free to say, "No thanks, I'd like my kidneys in tact". Legally, Anna's mother should look out for the best interests of her daughter Anna. Legally, there is only, 'black and white'.

So now I guess comes the part where you ask is it morally, ethically, religiously right?

The Sanctity of life VS the Quality of life.

You see it isn't as simple as just refusing to let someone take your organs away from you. The answer to that is simple. But this refusal carries a greater meaning. For Anna, this refusal is a murder of the last chance her sister has at surviving. This refusal is like letting her sister die. It's like killing her.

So which is the greater sin? Is it so wrong to want the pain to stop? To want to live till seventy eight and still know that you've got all the organs you need to function till ninety? Is it so wrong to want to play professional Hockey without worrying that if the puck hits and dislodges your only kidney you could die on the spot? Is it?

But then again, is it wrong for Anna's mother to sacrifice the hopes and dreams of one to give hope and life to another? Is it so wrong for her to want to cure her daughter? Is it so wrong to love your daughter so much you would do anything to help? Is it?

When it comes to situations like these, I really wonder what I'd do in their place. Whether I could stand by and watch as the life gets sucked out of my little girl's eyes day by day, knowing that right beside me is the cure to it all. Whether I'd know at that instant the right thing to do. Whether my religion would give me the wisdom I needed to make the decision.

Can it? It makes me wonder... Just like Euthanasia (mercy killing). Would I be begging for it even though I know in my religion it is wrong? Would I worst still refuse my mom or dad if they asked me to end it all for them?

I've lived by this code of never regretting what I've done. And so far, it has gotten me through 16 years of my life. But I can't say that making a decision either way on something like this would not leave me regretting. Because really. How do you know what IS the right thing to do? Do you?
