How it opens
Kate was diagnosed with leukaemia from childhood and the doctors were certain that she was not going to live for long.
Her parents, Sara and Brian are helpless and resolve to save Kate’s life by any means possible. They chose to have another child expecting that it will be a genetic match or a compatible bone marrow donor. However, their choices initiate a range of ethical and moral questions that quickly start to destroy the foundation of their happy relationship.
Infuriated upon knowing that she was conceived for the purpose of extending the life of her sick older sister, Anna eventually chooses to take legal action against her parents for the privileges to her body. Still, it is later learnt that her actual motivation for litigation was due to Kate’s decision to stop living and eliminate her suffering. As a result, the family is engulfed by the litigation and the struggle to ensure Kate’s survival.

Using an example well
Read it for how the paper is built, not for wording to reuse: how the introduction frames the question, how each paragraph moves from a claim to evidence, and how sources are cited. Submitting any part of it as your own work would be plagiarism, and it is written for a different brief than yours.
