The document summarizes a story about the Fitzgerald family. Kate suffers from acute promylocitic leukemia and her sister Anna was conceived to be a genetic match to donate bone marrow and organs to save Kate. As Anna grows older she petitions for medical emancipation so she can make her own decisions about donation. This causes tension between Anna and her mother Sara. In the end, Kate passes away despite Anna winning her case and not donating her kidney due to Kate's wishes. The family continues to honor Kate's memory each year.
