Extract

The ethics committee met and discussed the case with the surgeon. Just prior to this, the bioethics committee at a nearby medical center received a referral for a similar case. That committee had already undertaken a thorough review of the literature and the legal proceedings involved in the Seattle Ashley case. The medical center committee agreed to share their findings and deliberations with the children’s hospital committee and sent two representatives (both attorneys) to present their information. In addition, members of the children’s hospital committee had a conference call with the pediatric endocrinologist who had been involved with the case at the medical center.
