Beim Leben meiner Schwester (2009)
Brian und Sara Fitzgerald bekommen eine der schlimmsten Nachrichten, die man Eltern überbringen kann: Ihre zweijährige Tochter Kate ist an Leukämie erkrankt. Das Paar trifft daraufhin eine schwerwiegende Entscheidung. Da weder ihr Sohn Jesse noch sie selbst als passende Spender für die kleine Kate in Frage kommen, entschließen sie sich, ein drittes Kind zu bekommen, das genetisch auf die Bedürfnisse seiner großen Schwester abgestimmt ist. Baby Anna ist fortan also ein lebendiges Ersatzteillager für Kate, deren Krebs immer wieder zurückkehrt. Die Eltern sind zu allem bereit, um Kate am Leben zu erhalten. Doch dann, als Anna elf Jahre alt ist, weigert sie sich, eine ihrer Nieren zu spenden und holt sich dafür Unterstützung von Anwalt Campbell Alexander.
