Case example
Dr. Jordan is a neonatologist providing inten-
sive care for Baby Sanjay, a 2-week-old pre-
mature infant with a large unilateral cerebral
hemorrhagic infarct (a blood clot in the brain
causing bleeding and tissue damage). Because
his lungs are not fully developed, Baby Sanjay
is currently dependent on a mechanical venti-
lator to support his breathing. Dr. Jordan be-
lieves that Baby Sanjay has a fairly good chance
of survival (60-70 percent) with continuing
intensive care. It is very probable, however,
that he will be both physically and mentally
disabled. At this early stage of Baby Sanjay’s
development, the degree of his eventual disabil-
ity is still highly uncertain. It could be mild to
profound, and there is a small chance he would

survive without disability. Dr. Jordan has pro-
vided intensive care for hundreds of infants
with medical conditions like Baby Sanjay, and
he is committed to preserving the lives and
promoting the health and well-being of his pa-
tients.
Baby Sanjay’s parents are citizens of India;
his father is working temporarily in the USA,
but they plan to return to India shortly. They
visit their son frequently and are very con-
cerned about his serious medical problems.
After hearing that, if he survives, Baby San-
jay will probably be mentally and physically
disabled, the parents have asked Dr. Jordan to
discontinue ventilator support and allow the
baby to die. They explain that in their home
city in India, disabled people face severe dis-
crimination; little education, rehabilitation, or
health care is available to them. Therefore, they
prefer to allow Baby Sanjay to die rather than to
live what they believe will be a life of profound
suffering and indignity.
To evaluate the parents’ request, Dr. Jordan
consults several of his colleagues who received
their medical training in India. They corrobo-
rate the parents’ claim that mentally disabled
persons, and their families, suffer great dis-
crimination and receive little support in India.
How should Dr. Jordan respond to the parents’
request?1
