The Twelve Infant Deaths at the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre

Abstract: This 7 page paper delves into medical ethics as it examines the well known Canadian case where in 1994 twelve infants died after cardiac surgery. An inquiry into the matter revealed that most of the deaths were preventable or at least probably preventable. The theory of utilitarianism is used to support a course of action that the nurses might have undertaken. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
