Interesting game?

I watched a random movie tonight. It's called My Sister's Keeper, but in Russian distribution, it's strangely titled My Guardian Angel. Anyway, no one here will probably watch it, so I'll spoil it.
The gist is this: a couple has a very sick child with a bunch of different diseases, and this girl constantly needs a donor to survive. But finding a donor is difficult. The parents are not suitable for some reason, and there are very few people with the right blood type, but the doctor found the only viable option. I don't know how he proved it would work, but it did. A sister was grown in a lab, created from the mother's egg and the sperm of the father of the sick girl, and she was grown specifically to be a donor. At five, something was taken from her blood, at six – from her bones, with huge needles being inserted into her body. In short, her body was being heavily exploited, and they didn't even ask for her permission. And now she's eleven, the sick sister is fifteen, and she needs a kidney. Of course, only the lab-grown sister's kidney is suitable. And she somehow gathers money from somewhere, hires a good lawyer, and sues her parents, demanding that their rights over her body be limited.
At the end of the movie, it turns out that the sick girl talked her sister into doing this because she wants to die. And the lab-grown sister actually loves everyone, wishes everyone well, and all that. But the point isn't that at all, but rather, why is such a miserable life needed, which you mostly spend in a hospital with some awful pains? There are no prospects for a future life because the chance of being cured is one in a million. It's just unclear why she lived for fifteen years. The mother gave up her career and quit her job for her health, the father also gave up something, the brother didn't go to school, he stayed with his sister and took care of her, and the lab-grown girl, who is also a full-fledged person with feelings and emotions, is being taken apart for her organs. And all for the sake of the sick girl living eleven years longer and dying (and she does die), having achieved nothing in life and done nothing. Of course, the lab-grown girl said a lot of blah-blah-blah, like, I'm glad I had such a cute sister and all that, and the others said the same, but it all felt kind of depressing.
