Labeled - Film on Supposedly "Lethal" Birth Disorders

This spring, the film "Labeled" was officially released.  "Labeled" exposes the shocking reality of how parents of some children diagnosed with genetic disorders are tragically being told their child’s condition is lethal and incompatible with life.  (For more on this from an academic perspective, see the work of Annie Janvier.)  Once labeled, children may have life sustaining food and medical care withheld or withdrawn, without the consent or knowledge of their parents.



Labeled follows Hannah Allison and her family.  Talking with medical experts, families, historians and theologians, they uncover the historical roots of the modern day eugenics movement and the disturbing practice of passive euthanasia still occurring in hospitals today.
