Here is the problem:
TwinA(14yrs) will die in 3 months because of bad kidneys unless she gets transplant. TwinA is outgoing, intellegent, & everyone feels she will be very successful if she lives. At the time (not with the technological advances of today) the only kidney transplant that will be successful is from her twin. All other transplants will be unsucessful (according to then). This operation is usually safe but there is some risk like any surgery. Both can live with one kidney. The parents want this operation (gave consent) but there is an issue. TwinB does not want to donate her kidney. Unlike her twin she is a very sad(depressed), shy, & unsocial person. Twin B feels rejected because all attention has been given to her sister who is ill.TwinB has always hated TwinA who has been given more attention and love. Twin b has been given psych.treatment & other things to change her mind but no success.
Would you operate? Twin B being forced into the hospital against her wil.why
