At a renowned university medical complex a child is born who carries the stigmata associated with Mongolism. In addition, the infant has an intestinal obstruction which prevents the digestion of food. This condition can be corrected by a surgical procedure, but the parents of the child refuse to give permission for the operation to take place. Hospital authorities fail to seek recourse through the courts. Eleven days later, after prolonged starvation and dehydration, the child finally succumbs.1 What rights has a child
