Plot: This heartrending TV movie stars John Lithgow and Mary Beth Hurt as the parents of a severely handicapped premature infant. Weighing a scant 20 ounces at birth, the baby girl has no esophagus and very few signs of being able to stay alive without artificial assistance. The desperate couple sign away the responsibility of their daughter to the doctors, who feel that they can pull the girl through with extensive experimental medical work. Within a week of this agreement, the cost to the couple is $71,000, an amount that will triple before the situation can be legally resolved. Though not based on any factual case, Baby Girl Scott maintains an uncomfortable reality throughout. The film first aired on May 24, 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I hate this movie Added 9/1/2006 I think this movie is great, in that it addresses a very serious issue affecting our medicalized society. THe right to die is just as much an issue as the right to live. Many people in the medical profession feel as though it is their job to become heroes at the cost of harm or ethics. I say that i hate this movie because it presents such a strong depiction of this type of moral rape that my blood was truly boiling. But I would recommend anyone watch this, especially if you don't know where you stand on basic human/patient rights, and even if you think you do. It is a real eye-opener. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful.
