... Bailey’s motives, and even whether this method is more of an unethical experiment or a valid attempt at saving Baby Fae’s life.
Clearly, Fae’s parents will be profoundly affected by the decision of this hospital because their daughter’s chances at life rest on whether or not the procedure will be performed. ... Bailey’s procedure is obviously a highly considered option in this case, a second option would be to simply let Baby Fae die, the most common decision when dealing with this syndrome. A third option, which has rarely been attempted in the past, would be to transplant the heart of another human infant into Baby Fae. ... Bailey’s procedure holds a tremendous upside in its possibility of establishing a new treatment for future sufferers of a hypoplastic heart, it simply does not provide Baby Fae with her greatest chance of survival. ... When considering the option of simply leaving Fae to die, it is apparent to this hospital that such a decision would be unethical in all respects, as maintaining life is a primary goal from nearly all ethical standpoints.
