Random thoughts - Going on vacation always puts me in the mood to get some good reading done. This morning I finally finished a really good book I started in Puerto Rico. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good read. This is the basic summary - 13- year-old Anna Fitzgerald enlists the help of an attorney, Campbell Alexander, to sue her parents for rights to her own body. Anna was conceived as a donor for her sister Kate, who is 16 and has leukemia. Anna donated genetic material throughout her life, and the latest donation is for her to give a kidney to Kate. If she wins the lawsuit, she would not have to donate.
Let the ethical debates begin...
Speaking of ethics - what are you feelings on the recently born octuplets? The mother already has 6 kids, isn't married, and decided to undergo IVF. Just interested in your thoughts.
And I also owe an apology for missing Uncle Michaels birthday - Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you got to celebrate in Puerto Rico with a nice drink by the pool. And Happy Belated Birthday to Petra as well! And, yes, I know we have a few birthdays coming up this week...

I have never read the book. Sounds like maybe it is a good one.
On the lady with the octuplets - They don't even let day cares have 8 infants at once with 1 person... I am not sure how she can do all that herself!
Mel - I am glad that you had fun! It is a great place huh?
Kristin great point. I also think that the doctor was quite irresponsible for many reasons!! Should have never happened!!
I will read the book as soon as I get it from the library on Monday and then we can have a book club on the blog!! Gail
