This is a great novel by Jodi Picoult.

I was reading Transforming Mission by David Bosch and although I was enjoying it, was going slow. I picked up this novel for a change and read it in a day.

Its an interesting ethical story about a 13 year old girl who was ‘genetically engineered’ by her parents as a bone marrow/kidney donor for her sister with leukemia. She struggles to have a life of her own as a result and ends up suing her parents for rights to her own body. It raises some great questions about how far we go to save life.

Its a great novel for the world we are creating!

I am now onto The First Casualty by Ben Elton – also a novel with ethical implications and it looks like a good one too.
