Tricky one....
If both doctors are right, and this is actually the cause I wouldn't like to be in the judges position. Technically he is guilty of a crime. However in these circumstances(if correct) what would you do in a way of punishment.
Diversiving slightly, there is a case here in the UK where a judge has to decide wether to seperate two babies joined down the middle. If they don't, proberbly both will die. If they do, one will certainly die.
Very tough call. I know we give our judges a hard time, deservedly so in certain cases, but sometimes I'm glad I'm not in their shoes.
The case above being one of them.
