Sister refuses to save her brother.

i just think that it's selfish of her. it's her brother, for god's sake. he is dying. she can save him.

I cant even believe this. Seriously, this is horrible. What a horrible person. No matter how invasive a procedure is, if you have a chance to save someone else's life and you know it, it is completely despicable to not save that life. It makes it worse that its her brother, and yet she STILL refuses to do it. I honestly don't get it. What kind of a person would do this? 😘

Umm, I'd say most people wouldn't do something like that.

They have a choice to do it if they want to. They're not required to, and it's not something that should ever BE required, in my opinion. If they want to donate marrow/blood/organs, then yes, that's a good thing. But if they don't, for whatever reason, fine. It's their decision and they're not obliged to do such a thing.

If your brother/sister was in the same position, you wouldnt help them? (That's assuming your very close to your brother/sister)

maybe her brother is an aszhole

i mean bone marrow is pretty rare

To me, it's not even about family.

If you knew that you were the perfect match to someone's transplant, why the hell would you refuse them, knowing they would DIE because of it? No one's God, no one has the right to ordain people's deaths if they know that they can do something about it. It's not as if she doesn't have the money, they tell us that she lives in an upscale home.

But then I suppose I'm a little biased - I have a kidney transplant from my dad, and my sister's next on the list for when this one gets used up, and it will.

I can't even imagine what this man must be feeling.

"There are two methods of harvesting the cells from human bone marrow – one of which is considerably more invasive than the other.

In this procedure donors have a general anaesthetic and surgeons drill holes into their pelvic bones before using a needle and syringe to withdraw the blood stem cells.

Donors are bedridden for two days and the stem cells replenish themselves within 21 days. The greatest risk is that patients could have a reaction to the anaesthetic.

Donors may experience lower back-pain and fatigue along with post-operative tenderness. It takes up to a week to recuperate.

The less invasive procedure involves harvesting stem cells circulating in the blood over two four-hour periods on consecutive days.

A natural growth hormone is injected before the process to stimulate the movement of stem cells from the marrow to the blood stream.

Donated blood is then passed through a machine that isolates the stem cells. Donors can feel woozy and experience flu-like symptoms but resume their routines in about a week. "

Psssh, clearly not worth it.

Well, thier must be a good reason for this sister not to do it when the operation is bad, but not really that bad.

IMO, it is. A few days of sickness and whatever else versus saving someone else's life, well, i'd choose the second option.

seconded. great Jedi think like.

It makes me sad when people miss very clear sarcasm. 🙁

I'm gonna kill my sister when I come home. Women are so selfish and the greedy scum of the earth.
