BOOK
 My Sister's Keeper
Written by Jodi Picoult/ Published by Atria Books (2004)
"They don't really pay attention to me, except when they need my blood or something. I wouldn't event be alive, if it wasn't for Kate being sick"
 
This book was written in 2004 by Jodi Picoult illustrates the main character Anna suing her parents to seek for medical emancipation. A child suing her parents is controversial itself, but considering the fact that she has undergone countless surgeries for herleukemic sister Kate and providing stem cells or bone marrow whenever Kate needs them, it is then understandable. Moreover, the story behind Anna's birth is also debatable, as she was born for a 'specific purpose,' her genes modified so that her umbilical cord could be used to save her sister. She consequently went through thirteen years of countless surgeries, eventually leading her to start questionig her identity as she did not seem to exist other than in relation to her sister's illness. Thus, was it ethically right for Anna to have been asked to donate parts of her own body repeatedly for thirteen years?.. 
MOVIE
  Human Harvest (Davids and Goliath)
2014/ Directed by Leon Lee/ Investigative work by Canadian Nobel Peace Prize nominees David Matas and David Kilgour
This engaging and award-winning documentary unearths a tale of horror stemming from accusations in China of their huge human organ-selling industry. The film begins with analysis of the numbers of rgans being harvest and sold in China, which had only officially been a part of the organ trade since 2010. David Matas, a renowned immigration and human rights lawyer, and David Kilgour, a Canadian politician, have spent much of their career in the last decade devoted to solving this 'gap' in China's organ trade.
The number of registered organ donors in China between 2010 and 2013 was close to 1,500, so the main portion of organs came from prisoners on death row. However, the filmmakers gathered much evidence to discover a horrifying truth. By explaining evidence found in calls to hospitals and clinics throughout China, interviews with patients who recieved the organs, and the incredibly fast wait-time for transplants to occur in China versus other industrialized countries, Kilgour and Matas come to the realization that many of the organs are actually being harvested from the Falun Gong community, a spiritual minority on China that has suffered intense discrimination and persecution for years. ...
