My Baby's Life: Who Decides? (documentary video)

This week, UK channel 4 aired the first episode in a series "My Baby's Life: Who Decides?"

The documentary is an intimate, sensitive account of the lives of children with illnesses that can probably never be cured, meeting their families and doctors and exploring whether it can ever be right to let a baby die.

Some parents chose to withdraw treatment because they couldn’t bear to see their baby suffer any more. Other parents (as we see with the Haastrup, Evans, and Gard cases) choose to continue treatment past the point clinicians think appropriate.
