00:00What can I do for you?
00:0214 karat gold. Hardly ever worn.
00:06I want to sue my parents for the rights to my own body.
00:08Would you repeat that, please?
00:10I want to sue my parents for the rights to my own body.
00:12My sister has leukemia.
00:14They're trying to force me to give her my body parts.
00:16You're supposed to give her a kidney?
00:18She's been in renal failure for months now.
00:20Well, no one can force you to donate if you don't want to, can they?
00:23I'm under 18. They're my legal guardian.
00:25You can't do that.
00:27What?
00:28Well, that's what I want you to tell them, because they've been doing it to me my whole life.
00:31I wouldn't even be alive if Kate wasn't sick.
00:33I was made in a dish to be spare parts for Kate.
00:36You do know what will happen if you don't give your sister your kidney, don't you?
00:39Yeah, sure bye.
00:41So, there's a little over $700 here, and I know that's enough.
00:47That's all I have, and I need your help.
00:50Good for you.
00:52You can serve.
00:54I need your medication for medical emancipation.
00:56What does that mean?
00:58I need to make all future medical decisions independent of her parents.
01:02I want to be forced to submit medical treatment, including not limited to donating.
01:05Look at you.
01:06Anna, what is this? Is this from you?
01:08Yeah, I got a lawyer.
01:10You're suing us?
01:12Honey, what the hell is going on?
01:14I don't want to do it anymore, Mom.
01:16You don't want to do it anymore?
01:18That's it? You don't want to do it?
01:20No.
01:21Well, guess what? Neither do I, and neither does Kate.
01:24But it's not like we have a choice in this.
01:26But that's the thing. I do. I do have a choice.
01:28Really? Is that so?
01:29Yeah.
01:30That's your sister. Have you forgotten that?
01:31No.
01:32Do you know what's going to happen to her if you do this?
01:33Yes. Believe it or not, Mom, I actually thought about it.
01:36Sarah.
