How about he did something so bad that she would not be sorry to see him leave this life. How about she has suffered all her life from the lasting effects of his behavior.

How about he and his wife show an inordinate sense of a ownership of her body and a lack of respect for her as a person. How about this public humiliation of the woman shows a brutal sense of entitlement to use her body.

Wait until national healthcare kicks in. We have seen nothing so far. They will own your life.

Oh Christ, I'm crying my eyes out over the poor misunderstood woman. They didn't respect her pristine body. He deserves death for that. The woman is a cold hearted bitch, nothing less.

Starting with a few unsupported assumptions, he's a jerk, hurt her in one of a thousand unforgivable ways, just pissed her off, whatever, the leap to suggesting they have or expect ownership or entitlement to her body is a fairly large one.

At the extreme, that would entail carting a leg or something into the specialists office, expecting them to pull bone marrow out of it, and then not expecting to be charged with kidnapping, assault, battery, torture, attempted or actual murder, in the pre-planned, first degree sense...

The facts, apparently are, he needs marrow, she is a match, without it he will die, she is his brother, and she for some (whatever) reason doesn't want to donate the potentially lifesaving marrow to him.

She says no, that is her decision. However, her decision certainly doesn't insulate her from scrutiny or questions as to why she would do so. I agree that she is never required to tell, but, if she wanted to defend her decision for good reason she certainly has the audience.

I guess I agree, donation is her decision, but I whole heartedly disagree that someone who's life is on the line is out of line for trying to bring pressure to the situation.

Hopefully, others won't follow her lead in the need for blood donations, or breaking for a jaywalker, etc....

I agree with you here! The brother comes off as someone with entitlement issues, that at his age, certainly didn't come out of no where. Also, no mention of what other conditions he might have, which the sister may have chosen not to speak on. I cannot imagine anyone in my family demanding entitlement like that. They don't have that mentality. And wouldn't have to demand either.

Ownership of her body?

How about just shocked that she's not showing an ounce of humanity for her brother?

If he did something "so bad" I doubt that she'd have her kids around him.

She deserves the public humiliation. There was a time when public humilliation was the acceptable result for being selfish or doing wrong.

Now it's "her body, her right." blech

If this were the case, why would she let her children play with her brother's children.

I guess we aren't all part of the human race.
