The episode deals with controversy, based on fact, that raised its ugly head to front-page headlines last year when doctors and authorities at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital allowed a newborn infant, a victim of mongolism, to starve to death because the parents wanted it that way. Was it homicide, mercy killing, or an act done for the benefit of the family and all society?
