This is a story of a drama-gone-bad because of a wrong advise from a doctor.
First, when a child is to be born for the purpose of supplying certain needs of another child, such as a specific type of blood, tissue or other body parts, the genes must be engineered to obtain the specifications. You cannot just expect that because a child is again born by the same set of parents, the blood type and other bodily characteristics will be the same. Hence, the process will be completed by in vitro fertilization.
The movie revolved around this idea. It emphasized the need for the two persons to mate again to have another child. Thus,implying that they will bear a child who's body type will supply the specific bone marrow the other child needs. Obviously, the makers of the movie failed to research the factual basis of their plot. Research would say that this is solely done by genetic engineering and completed by in vitro fertilization. At the end of the movie, I thought that it is just sad that the characters of the movie had to do all those because of a wrong medical advice. The character of Angelica P. was right when she said that they could send the child abroad for a better treatment. Sadly, in the presence of a loyal friend of a doctor, Grace and a cheater for a husband, her suggestion went up like a smoke.
On the other hand, well, the hardships a mother can bear when her child is in dispute is effectively shown in the movie. The characters are very realistic. I find just sad that the drama was rooted from a failed research. The media must be aware of their role to provide factual information.
