KIE Senior Scholar John Keown Publishes Play

Dr. John Keown, KIE Senior Research Scholar and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Christian Ethics, recently published a new play entitled Babydoctor: The Trial of Dr. William Clifford. Keown’s inspiration for the play originated from the 1981 trial of Dr. Leonard Arthur at Leicester Crown Court, England. Babydoctor poses questions concerning the rights of infants with disabilities and the ethical and legal responsibilities of doctors and parents to infants with disabilities.
