5. Kate is diagnosed with cancer at age two and her mom
Sara wants to do everything she can to save her so the
doctor advices them to try to make a perfect donor match
for Kate because neither her brother or them are match for
her. So they have Anna with in vitro fertilization and they
make sure she is a match for her sister. Anna is born and
she goes through a lot of procedures through all her life .
When Kate turns 15 she goes into renal failure and she
needs Anna to give her a kidney, their mom Sara pushes
Anna to give a kidney to her sisters even if she doesn’t
want to.

6. Kate asks Sara not to give her a kidney because she wants
to die and stop suffering.
Sara looks for a very famous lawyer called Campbell who
agrees to help her so she can get an emancipation to her
body and she can refuse to give her sister a kidney, also she
realizes all the things that her mother has taken away from
her to save her sister.
Her overprotective mother, leads an obsessive campaign to
keep Kate alive, and is indignant at Anna's decision.
Kate goes to the hospital prom with her boyfriend Taylor and
after that she is upset because he hasn’t called her but she
later find out he already died because he had cancer to.
Kate is getting worse and she wants to go to the beach and
although the doctor says it’s not good for her and her mother
doesn’t want to let her go, her father takes her and they
spend the day at the beach.

7. Anna and Kate's older brother, Jesse reveal that Anna's
actions are actually under Kate's instruction, their mother
Sara is indignant at this discovery, but finally realizes that
Kate had been trying to tell her that she was done and she
didn’t want Anna’s kidney.
Before the case is decided, Kate dies while sleeping at the
hospital with her mother by her side. After Kate's death,
Campbell brings the court decision: Anna won the case. The
family moves on with their lives, but every year on Kate's
birthday they go to Montana, which was her "most favorite
place in the world." At the end, Anna says that their
relationship continues because she will see Kate again in
heaven some day.

8. My opinion of this movie has many different points of view of
something very important, and also can be understood in very
different ways depending on who is watching.
For me it was very sad but also very inspiring, the mom
scarifying everything for her daughter demonstrates that the love
of a mom is endless, the way Kate understood her destiny, she
didn’t give up but she loved her sister so she couldn’t make her
do that, she accepted that she was going to die and she was so
strong going through that pain.
