YGL-B Goes to the Movies: "My Sister's Keeper" NIH's annual Science in the Cinema series is back for another summer! Join us on August 4th for a showing of "My Sister's Keeper" and a discussion on bioethics to follow, with Dr. Pamela S. Hinds, Director of the Department of Nursing Research at the Children's National Medical Center. About the movie: "A former defense attorney (Cameron Diaz) finds herself back in the courtroom when she and her husband (Jason Patric) are sued for medical emancipation by their 11-year-old daughter, Anna (Abigail Breslin), who is expected to donate a kidney to her dying older sister. The subsequent trial tests ethical boundaries and the limits of parental love. Joan Cusack and Alec Baldwin round out the cast in this powerful drama based on Jodi Picoult's novel."
