This woman must really dislike her brother:
The sister of a man who is dying of leukemia is refusing to donate bone marrow to the British man, according to a London newspaper.Simon Pretty, a father of three, told the Daily Mail that his sister Helen Pretty would not donate her bone marrow, which is a perfect match and could save his life.
Without the donation, Pretty could be dead by the end of the year. He would leave behind his wife Jacqueline and his children: Rebecca, 8, Jack, 6, and Benjamin, 3.
That's too bad. I'd suggest he take out descriptive escort ads for her on Craigslist now, while he still has time to enjoy the hijinks.

I was thinking while writing about John Edwards earlier of a physician I knew, a very prominent
cardiologist who had some very special skill involving stents and athrectomy procedures.
His wife was a dialysis patient for years, until finally she had to have a transplant if she were to live. He offered himself as a donor and was found to be a perfect match. That's when he retired.
I thought that was pretty cool.
