I agree with some aspects and have trouble grappling with other aspects, so I'll get back on these others in a few days. Will bump up the thread when my thoughts are organized.
I have been on extended bed rest/medical leave for a long time now after surgery and go back to work tomorrow after being fully healed -- yay!! Want to thank all of you for your companionship, and the love and laughter on this forum.
As background for what I want to continue--
Has anyone seen the movie "My sister's keeper" -- the full story is available on wikipedia. It is based on a true story).
Anyway, its about a family where the elder daughter is dying of cancer, and the younger daughter was conceived specially because they could not find a bone marrow match for the elder one. So they conceived a new child, who by a miracle is an exact bone marrow match (all children need not necessarily be the same bone marrow matches to each other).
At any given time, this child is always asked to make sacrifices for her sister by her mom for her sister's health and do all kinds of blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants. It comes to a point where when the younger child is 13 years old, the elder siblings kidney fails. And the mom expects the younger child to donate a kidney.
At this point, at the age of 13, the younger child sues her parents and seeks a 'divorce' from her parents. Its a major lawsuit.
Meanwhile, the older daughter says she doesnt want the kidney and she dies. She felt this girl (younger sister) should live her life.
So when I come back, I will have some questions about family obligations etc. Jagya was probably a bad example to use because of his lying and cheating intertwined.
