Extra Credit- science connection

I Have resently started reading My Sisters Keeper which i believe connects to science.In the novel Anna was born to save her older sister Kate who is diagnosed leukemia. For Anna's parents to get the perfect matched child to Kate, scientists matcher the mothers eggs and the fathers sperm to create the specific combination of the genetic material to match Kate. For Kate to survive she had to take things form Anna, such as blood, white cells, stem cells, and her bone marrow. Anna has undergone many surgeries and transfusions so her older Kate can survive .this novel connects to science because Kate has to borrowing many body needs, in order to survive, in the book they use scientific terms. this is a very indulging story, I recommended it to anyone once you start reading you cant stop. I hope you enjoy it.
