1-11. CONCLUSION
You work in an area that has a great potential for litigation. Ours is a litigious
society and, as our technology produces even greater and greater miracles, we
ironically find ourselves facing a system in which we have both the most advanced
technology in the world, as well as the most malpractice litigation. Patients who may
have died 20 years ago can now be kept alive. We have the ability to detect fetal
abnormalities and affect the development of that fetus long prior to birth. Today, some
patients claim a right to die; others claim a right not to have been born. This is an
exciting and developing area--one where the law and medicine converge.
