I am particularly bothered by the final scene of the doctor shutting down the life-support of her patient!
Although the movie succeeded in swaying me in the relief of the patient's fears of death I wonder if a doctor would still be allowed to practice medicine-both morally and ethically!
The movie, through the writer, leads the audience to assume the truth is never revealed to anyone-and-she gets away with a 'wrongful death!'
In reality perhaps the good doctor would be stripped of her licence to practice medicine and the parents would never know the truth! I would assume the doctor would be left with this cross to bear and might it affect her future practice of medicine!
All in all a good movie and Ms. Mason fits the part very well !
