baby to die rather than save it's life,
or attempt to save it, by performing
an operation.
The surgeon-Dr. H. J. Haiselden-
and the child's mother-Mrs Bollinger
agreed that it would be to the best
interests of every one concerned to
permit the babe to die in its infancy
| than to perform an operation which,
il it proved successful, would start
the infant into life as mental, physi.
cal, and possibly moral defective.

has arisen in every section of the

child's mother must decide. In dis
cussing such an affair, one is treading

tance, it is impossible to say with any
