Complete story — includes the ending
A baby with Down's Syndrome is allowed to starve to death by a doctor ( Allan Arbus ) who feels Down's babies are a drain on medical, emotional, and financial resources, and another doctor ( Colleen Dewhurst ) feels the baby's intentional lack of treatment is grounds for murder. Quincy's investigation reveals how Down's children are treated in the world, and he visits a family ( Tyne Daly and Clu Gulager ) who care for six such children in their home.
