PEOPLE, Page 73A Sister Is Saved
By MICHAEL QUINN/Reported by Wendy Cole
Your daughter is dying of leukemia, and no one can be
found with the compatible bone marrow needed to save her life.
Conceiving another child seems the only way to provide a
suitable donor. Would you do it? Of course. The ensuing debate
over medical ethics made the 19-year-old daughter, Anissa Ayala,
a media celebrity and the subject of a TIME cover (June 17,
1991). Now there is a happy ending: the transplanted marrow from
her baby sister Marissa, conceived for that purpose, has
apparently saved Ayala. She now plans to marry her longtime
boyfriend and start a support group for other cancer patients.
Says Ayala: "My family was my support group, but a lot of people
don't have the closeness my family and I have."
