Judge DeSalvo

Anna Fitzgerald is fighting for medical emancipation from her parents, whom for the most part want her to donate a kidney to her sister Kate Fitzgerald to prolong her gradually depleting life. This situation is highly volatile as a kidney may or may not save Kate's life, but with both outcomes at Anna's expense. For the most part, I can see that Anna's mother, Sara Fitzgerald, has put up some very solid points in her case, however, Anna is also putting up some good arguments, despite having said very little in her part. As Anna's mother and her own lawyer, I can see that Sara is very conflicted on the matter, hence she is unable to effectively make a rational decision regarding either of her daughters' health. Anna has allegedly spoken with Kate in the past about this situation, while Sara has not asked for Kate's opinion on the matter to begin with. Therefore, it is decided that I will rule this case in Anna's favor.
