During her eight weeks of life, Leaney Lavea—born prematurely and with medically insurmountable abnormalities—was dependent on machines to live. But were these machines prolonging her life, or were they merely delaying her death? This deeply moving program explores the ethical dilemma surrounding a case that began in a hospital and ended up in court. Interviews with Baby L’s parents, the attending physician, the Laveas’ legal counsel, and others trace the course of the battle between the parents and the hospital to assert their rights to do what they each believed was morally correct.
