A cancer victim has accused his sister of condemning him to death by refusing to donate her bone marrow for a life-saving operation.

A warning to boys everywhere .... treat your sisters nice or they won't give you their bone marrow.

Wow, that's pretty cold.

"She runs a private education business from her £380,00 home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, which she shares with her partner and her daughter, eight, and son, three."

I think there is more to this story then is being told.

The hard feeling between the two must have come from somewhere.

I have to admit that if I was the dad and my sister was gonna be like that.... I'd be scoring some payback before I checked out.

i was wondering how many posts until someone highlighted that line. pretty quick.

"She runs a private education business from her £380,00 home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, which she shares with her partner and her daughter, eight, and son, three."

Looks like sis doesn't like boys, even her own brother.

[Yo-Yo]

Moral of the story: Don't tease your sister.

Oh I know all about payback. When I was in high school my sister asked me for a cigarette before school and I told her no. I thought that was the end of it until next weekend when I came home at 3 AM and found 3 goats locked in my bedroom.

Of course... but what kind of monster refuses to help someone in such a situation?

He's got nothing to lose. So what's to stop him?

[pax_et_bonum]

I was so upset and I said, 'Don’t you care if your brother dies?'

She said 'It’s very sad', and smirked."

Daaaaaaaaaang.

Don't trivialize this. Unless there is something really huge -- much, much more than "teasing" -- that we don't know about, this woman is evil. Evil isn't always spectacular. Sometimes it can seem very ordinary. It's still evil.

[Marylander]

My guess is there is more here than meets the eye.

Isn't there some sort of privacy for people who refuse to give up their body parts? There might be reasons that are nobody's business.

Why should the sister be put on the spot like this? Obviously there are no concerns for her. This gives a hint about why she might refuse.

Bad feelings are one thing. But refusing to donate bone marrow that could save someone's life is something else. I don't care how much she hates her brother, this is truly inhuman.

[i_dont_chat]

Some people have no common sense.

Such a serious and personal matter -- surely NOW after posting this on the Internet, there will be even LESS cooperation.

It is unfortunate that people cannot restrain pen and tongue. Prayer would have been more effective, me thinks.

[Allegra]

My brother lurks on here.

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.

[pollyannaish]

How could a person not donate bone marrow to save someone's life even if it is someone you don't like? Wow.

I would sure like to know the rest of the story.
