I started reading "My Sister's Keeper" for Book Club (St. Louis), at first I thought it was a very interesting book but I did try not to get emotionally invested in it... It's a book that's both innovative and sweet, it gets into medicine and law... It's the story about a genetically engineered girl, who was conceived to save her sister's life.
I'm not going to spoil the book for anybody, but I just have to say that tonight, while reading this book I realized or confirmed that I made the right decision... I didn't cry like I would've 7 years and 8 months ago, or during all 2001 even... But I did cry calmly, knowing that the only way my mom could've survived that night was with a feeding tube and hooked up to a respitator, and that's not what she wanted.

Empece a leer el libro "My Sister's Keeper" (quiere decir algo como "El guardia de mi hermana") para el Club de Lectura (en St. Louis), primero pense que era un libro muy interesante, pero trate de no involucrarme mucho emocionalmente... Es un libro que a la vez es inovador y tierno, trata sobre medicina y la ley... Es la historia de una nina que fue concebida por medio de ingenieria genetica para salvarle la vida a su hermana.
No voy a echarle a perder el libro a nadie, solo quiero decir que hoy me di cuenta o confirme que tome la decision correcta... No llore como lo hubiera hecho hace 7 anios y 8 meses, o durante todo el 2001... Pero si llore calmadamente, sabiendo que la unica manera que mi mama hubiera sobrevivido aquella noche hubiera sido conectada a un tubo que la alimentara y a un respirador, y eso no era lo que ella hubiera querido.
