JURY Of EXPERTS.
UPHOLDs DOCTOR
PHYSICIAN ExoNoRATED FOR RE.
FusINe TO SAVE BABY.
MIGHT HAVE PROLONGED LIFE
Jurors Decide That One Man Should
Not Have the Power to Decree
Death. Recommends
Consultation.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-A jury Of Chica
go physicians decided that society has
the right to refuse life to baby born
hopelessly defective.
DIR. Harry ]. 'Haiselden was exon
Grated from blame for permitting the
death of Baby Bollinger after deciding
that the child, If allowed to live, would
be doomed to life of misery and
uselessness.
Following is the verdict:
/. We found from the evidence pre-
sented and from personal inVestiga'
tions that Allen .Bollineer died from
the effects of imperforate anus. {
2. The essential malformations OF
the body of Allen Bollinger were i'm
perforate anus, fusion of the two kid
neys into one located on the left side,
and with a single ureter; absence OF
the right external ear and external
auditory canal. and the defective de-
velopment of the skin Of the shout
ders, especially the right, causing an
apparent shortening of the neck.
8. The acquired pathological condi'
tons were small extradural hemor'
rhages / nthe spinal canal Small sub.
pteural hemorrhages, discharge from
the nose, and the coroner,s physician
reports an area of hemorrhages In the
tianeter in the left sylvan fissure.
4. We believe that prompt opera.
ton would have prolonged and saved
the life Of the child.
s. We find no evidence from the
physical defects that the child would
have been mentally or morally defec.
tive. .-
6. Several of the physical defects
might have been improved by plastic
operation. S..
Z. We believe that morally and eth
ically a surgeon is fully within his
rights in refusing to perform any op-
Grafton which his conscience will not
sanction. We find no reason to be-
lieve that the parents of Allen Boil
linger were deprived of the privilege
of consultation. ~
s. We recommend strongly that in
all doubtful cases of this character,
a consultation of two or more sur
geons of known reputation for skill,
ethical standing and broad experience
should decide upon the. ACCESSIBILITY or
inadvisability Of operating measures
We believe that the physicians duty
is to relieve suffering and to save or
prolong life.
ain Hands Of Providence"
Doctor Haiselden was strong wit,
ness in his own behalf One Of his
most telling points was that his ac-
ton differed only in purpose from the
legitimate action that would have been
taken by Christian Scientists in the
same case. They, too, he suggested,
would have refused to operate. leav-
ing the issue Of life or death in the
hands of Providence-where he him.
self left 1t.
AS for his future policy in such
cases, Doctor Haiselden was frank to
say that this would depend on the out,
come of the present case. The state
will be responsible in such cases here,
after, he declared, If the state now
assumes the responsibility by punish.
ing his failure to operate. If Doctor
Haiselden is punished for not operat.
ing this time, he says he will operate
next time-having washed his hands
of the responsibility.
