craniotomy

I received a phone call from the emergency room asking us to set up for a craniotomy.

In the craniotomy case the child is not a materially or formally unjust aggressor, it is not doing anything at all.

May John, a physician, cut away Peter by craniotomy and so save Ann's life?

Craniotomy on a living child is never to be considered under any circumstances.

If it is dead and the head is developed, craniotomy should be done to hasten extraction.
