Looks like sis doesn't like boys, even her own brother.Why are you assuming that the partner is female?

Gawd! Do you get paid extra for playing devil's advocate?

"He was a big bully of a brother, I bet." I don't care if he was McFly's tormentor. She has the potential to save a life at relatively little risk to herself. No one is entitled to another's gift of life, of course. But to make such a calloused choice when someone's life is on the line is astonishing and I don't blame him for going to the press. If it were the life of someone in your family on the line, I don't think you would accept the "decision" gracefully.

"On this topic, I will never understand why healthy people avoid donating blood."
I gave over three gallons (one pint at a time!) before the Red Cross decided that people who had lived in Europe and eaten the beef were not wanted as donors.

Hey, Bro....if you needed my bone marrow, I'd give it to you even if you did do stuff like put real chicken feet from the butcher in my purse when we were in Jr. High and stuff.I can't wait to see what Dark's kid seester has to say...

That was what I thought too -- any of the hepatitis strains, HIV exposure -- who knows? She may just be really, really embarassed.
I hate when the media only gives part of the story.
To: paltz
I wonder if she may have become HIV positive and doesn't want to admit it.

You are so right. There is way more to this then we are told. I even think the word "smirked" is a way to further paint the sister to be horrible. We just don't know if she is a monster or what.

"25 years from now, I don't know if I would do this kind of surgery. I guess it depends on how close you are." .....And yet people do this for strangers every day. I've been on the marrow registry since a close friend of mine was diagnosed with leukemia 9 years ago. I would consider it an honor if an insignificant part of myself and some mild discomfort were all it took to save a human life.

I was wondering if this is a clean cut sure thing treatment or not. Could it be the sister has a health issues she does not want to bring out.

It's much more simple. She is, in effect, murdering him.
And that's evil.
Unless she fears for her life at his hands, there is no excuse I can think of. A mitigating factor, perhaps. But no excuse.
If this woman doesn't change her mind, soon, everyone in the community should make her life miserable -- for the rest of her life.

Me too. I would hope that wouldn't preclude me from donating marrow, though. The minute risk of Mad Cow Disease is nothing compared to the imminent risk from leukemia.

GUILTY!

I love the fact that the journalist used the "smirked" as part of a quote to provide plausible deniability regarding bias. Ah...stupid journalists tricks. (Figuratively speaking of course.)
Victimhood is a great selling technique. I am amazed at how many times it shows up on magazine and newspaper covers conceptually.

Would you give a kidney to Osama bin Laden?

Actually, now that I see the picture, I think there is some sort of weight restriction when it comes to this surgery. (Perhaps that is the problem?) But if that were my brother, I'd be fasting if that is what it took to be eligible to donate.
