Question

Conjoined twins Angela and Amy Lakeberg, both attached from breast to belly, shared on liver and one heart. There was no chance of survival for either if they remained in the conjoined state, their parents decided to save one at the expense of the other. At Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, surgeons deliberately cut off circulation to Amy to salvage the heart for Angela. British courts reached a similar decision in 2000, over the protests of hte parents, who didn't want the twin separated because it meant the inevitable death of one, even though not having the operationwould be the death of both, the court said it boldly: to save one child, the doctors had to kill another. Do you agree with the court's decision: To save one child, the doctors had to kill another?
