My Sisters Keeper

Movie • 2009 • Drama  

Report
Sara and Brian live an idyllic life with their young son and daughter. But their family is rocked by sudden, heartbreaking news that forces them to make a difficult and unorthodox choice in order to save their baby girl's life. The parents' desperate decision raises both ethical and moral questions and rips away at the foundation of their relationship. Their actions ultimately set off a court case that threatens to tear the family apart, while revealing surprising truths that challenge everyone's perceptions of love and loyalty and give new meaning to the definition of healing.

Not in the traditional sense, but again you can argue that forcing an infant / child to go through medical procedures that aren't for their benefit is a form of abuse.

About half of the movie takes place in a hospital - the plot centers around a teenage cancer patient and how her cancer affects her family. The character is quite sick with it, and is in the hospital a lot of the time throughout the movie.
