Subject: Question 5

In response to question 5, if a sibling of mine were "spared" the genetic mutation and I was not, I would feel very alone like Sherry. I think I would naturally feel a bit of anger even though I would know it was not my siblings fault that he or she was spared. I would wonder why I was the one chosen to have the mutation rather than my sibling, or why either of us would have to be given it. I would be frustrated that just one tiny mistake could have such a great impact on my life. If I were spared the genetic mutation and my sibling was not, I would also feel a bit of anger knowing how close I am to my siblings. I would also feel a bit of relief though, but I think I would quickly try to repress my feelings of relief and just try to focuz on supporting and comforting my sibling.
