  • "Part of an eight-part series designed to stimulate discussion on values and ethics in relation to modern medical technology. As hospital authorities despair over budget cuts and a lack of funds, a child is rushed to casualty in need of a liver transplant. Because of the anticipated expense, another hospital has already sent the child home. The hospital director, struggling to allocate scarce resources, points out that, even with the expensive operation, the child has only a 40% chance."@en
  • "One of a series of short, open-ended dramas designed to stimulate discussion of values and ethics in relation to modern medical technology. The film considers the cost of high-risk organ transplants and the allocation of scarce medical resources. A child is in need of a liver transplant. The child has only a 40% chance of surviving with the transplant, but a 100% chance of dying without it. How should society's limited medical dollars be spent?"
