Video: The Real Story Behind "My Sister's Keeper"

In 2000, Lisa and Jack Nash of Englewood genetically engineered a baby in an effort to save their dying little girl. Their story, which appeared in the August 2005 issue of 5280, inspired a best-selling book and a Hollywood movie---but neither of them tell the truth. Produced by Matthew Roberts.

This story reminds me of Sofie's Choice. Sad, no matter which way you look at it. But people face awful situations like this every day. The real gift is for everyone who has read the story or seen the movie to become more compassionate.

Thank you. A great story about The Nash's. A reminder to be careful about believeing everything your read or see on film. Thanks.
