Summary of Matters of Life and Death

Conjoined twins dilemma...
Suicide of terminally ill patient...
Designer baby transplant success...

Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news. And what medical science can do and ought to do - or ought not to do - impinges on our personal lives, families and societies.
