Babydoctor: The Trial of Dr William Clifford
No Customer Reviews
This play was inspired by a criminal case that generated extensive media coverage and controversy: the trial of Dr Leonard Arthur at Leicester Crown Court, England, in 1981. Dr Arthur was tried for the murder of John Pearson, a newborn baby with Down's Syndrome who had been rejected by his parents. The play draws significantly on the summing-up of the trial judge. The play raises profound questions about the rights of infants with disabilities, and the ethical and legal duties of doctors and parents toward them.
