Doctors are often forced to make moral judgments when they treat us. In a series of six stories based on true cases, Ian Kennedy, Director of the Centre for Law, Medicine and Ethics, examines the principles that guide them.
Jenny is 15 and pregnant. She wants an abortion and does not want her parents to know anything about it. Dr Derrick Bolsover, an Oxfordshire GP, demonstrates how he would tackle Jenny's problem if she were one of his patients.
In the studio, the ethics of the case are discussed by Dr Sheila Abdullah, a Liverpool GP, Barbara Chandler, a Pregnancy Advisory Counsellor, and Madeleine Simms, a medical sociologist.

Today, in post-revolutionary Cuba, under the benign patronage of Fidel Castro, classical ballet thrives. This unlikely success story is mainly due to the legendary figure of Alicia Alonso. After almost 20 years as an internationally acclaimed star of the American ballet, she returned to support the Revolution in 1959, determined to create from scratch a national ballet company. Now aged over 60, her long career frequently threatened by failing eyesight, Alicia Alonso is still Cuba's prima ballerina, still performing Giselle and still the formidable leader of a huge company of dancers, all of them now trained and recruited within Cuba.
