As judge DeSalvo I would most likely rule in favor of Anna. I would choose this because I believe that children/teens should have more rights and freedoms such as voting and in this case medical decisions. Anna was unwillingly subjected to endure pain and suffering for the benefit of her sister along with the mentality that she was only born to save her sister not her own person. In ruling the way the Judge did i feel Anna would be given freedom of her own body and mentality. Although sad that Kate will most likely be in critical condition or dead due to this decision it is necessarily to give the inalienable freedom to Anna that her parents took away. As Sara I would feel torn in two direction sympathy for Anna and understanding of the pain and mental stress, but also for Kate not having a chance at life because of her condition. In the end I would respect Anna's decision. As Campbell I would feel as if Anna needed freedom and from progression of the case grew closer to her as her Uncle of some sort, as opposed to the first few meetings and hearings.
