However there were many obstacles for Jenna to overcome.

Jenna’s parents made the correct decision, and only did what every other parent would do, by simply using the technology available for its’ intended purpose. Jenna’s Father had the ability to save his daughter, when Jenna only had ten percent of her brain left, “the most important ten percent”. For Jenna to live she needed more than the lifetimes maximum amount of points, meaning Jenna would be illegal and if the F.S.E.B found out not only would she be in strife but here parents and the people who helped out with the procedure would be in a lot of trouble.

Jenna acted upon what Kara and Locke were telling her, and set them free from the boxed up identity. Jenna was able to help Allys’s parents as they were very worried about there daughter and weeped “our daughter is dying, can you please help us?” Jenna ‘educated’ Allys and Allys’s parents from her previous experience.

In this case I really don’t know the specifics of this particular case, because there are so many missing pieces between the pre-op and post-op that I’m unsure of how this actually happened to determine if this tragedy could have been prevented. In some cases the parents have to be completely informed as to the ramifications of a situation before making a final decision.…

    At a glance, both protagonists (Jack, from This Boy's Life, and Anne, from Limbo) appear to have very little in common. Jack, the only child of a single mother, is desperately attempting to develop his identity while he lives an unstable life in which he is constantly uprooted and moved form city to city as his mother searches for a way to support him. This perpetual motion is sharply contrasted by Anne who grows up in a small Catholic town in the Wisconsin country. There, she is given an identity in the form of her faith in God. However, both characters seek a new, or at least better, understanding of their identity. This is manifested differently within each memoir in that Jack's search is general while Anne's is focused on her faith and her identity with Christ. Although each character deals with their search differently, they both conclude that there are issues that they are unable to control and simply have to accept. This acceptance is portrayed by the protagonists' inability to control the outcomes of their lives.…
