You are not entitled to someone else's body parts even if you are a saintly father of three and the propective donor is a worthless woman who lives in an expensive house.

I think you may be on to something here, because he sure does seem to feel entitled, doesn't he ? Even to the extent of going to the paper and spinning the story his way, instead of accepting her decision gracefully.

He was a big bully of a brother, I bet.

Interesting take on it. How about this one instead: He is dying, he has three children and a wife and doesn't want to die. If more people were willing to donate marrow and appeared on a bone marrow registry, he may be able to live. The technology and people are out there; the problem is a lack of awareness. This is a very effective way of raising awareness about the issue.

"He was a big bully of a brother, I bet."

Oh, my gosh! This is his LIFE we're talking about. I'd probably do EVERYTHING I could, also.

"....because he sure does seem to feel entitled, ...."

He's probably desparate. I mean, what would YOU do??? Die "gracefully"??

I'm sure if you were in his shoes you would say "No hard feelin's, Sis" and die quietly.

"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.

Or maybe he feels he has try absolutely everything to change her mind, so his children won't feel as if he's not trying his hardest to stay alive and continue being their daddy.
