Teaching and learning moments. A lesson in ethics.

摘要

A six-year-old boy was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit one January morning. Asleep the previous night, he had wedged his face between his mattress and the wall. Most children could have extricated themselves easily, but this boy could not. He had cerebral palsy. By the time his parents found him, he had asphyxiated and suffered massive brain damage.
