that she doesn't want to give it to her. Anna goes to find a lawyer to help her fight her
case in court.
At the end of the book, Anna wins her case so that in the future she can make her
own decisions about her body. Unfortunately, the same day as she wins the case,
she is in her lawyer's car when they have a serious accident. Anna is brain-dead
after the crash, and the lawyer gives the doctors permission to use Anna's kidney. So
in the end, Anna dies and Kate lives.
At the end of the film, before they know the result of the court case, Kate and Anna's
