About This Book
In Jodi Picoult's #1 international bestseller she explores the moral dilemmas faced by the parents of a severely disabled child. When faced with the reality of a child who will be disabled, at which point should an obstetrician counsel termination? Should a parent have the right to make that choice?
Willow O'Keefe is born with osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, which means she will suffer hundreds of broken bones as she grows, and a lifetime of pain. But it means that Charlotte has to say in a court of law that she would have terminated the pregnancy if she'd known about the disability in advance. Handle with Care is an absorbing narrative which also questions the basis of medical ethics and of personal morality.
What rights do parents or doctors have to terminate a life? How disabled is too disabled? As a parent, how far would you go to save someone you love?
