Good news in the Golubchuk case. The court has enjoined the hospital from cutting off Mr G’s treatment. But there will be a trial. But that is how it should be: Let these doctors and bioethicists justify themselves in open court in front of the press and the world and be subjected to cross examination. Let the Golubchuck family present their own evidence. An open proceeding with transparency and the right of appeal sure beats unilateral termination of treatment and decision making behind closed doors.
