[PW] video based on or inspired by Picoult's "My Sister's Keeper"

[Melanie Barker]

Hello all!  Recently I had a middle school science teacher ask me about a
video that some of his past classes enjoyed.  He described the video,
which sounded a lot like Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper (a sibling is
genetically engineered to be a blood/organ match for her sick sister). 
After a fruitless search, I asked for more information, and he said it was
inspired by Picoult's book.  He could offer no other details. 

Does anyone have any knowledge of a video/movie/straight-to-DVD/Lifetime
Movish version of My Sister's Keeper, or at least a film inspired by the
book? 

Second question:  Does anyone know if My Sister's Keeper was inspired by a
specific case?  

A thousand thanks for your help!

Melanie
