Between Life and Death

Description

Doctors can interrupt and even reverse the process of death. Filmed over six months in the country's leading brain injury unit at Addenbooke's Hospital, Cambridge, this documentary follows Prof. David Menon and his colleagues as they treat three patients with traumatic brain injuries. One man who, by only moving his eyes, is eventually asked if he wants to live or die. The Seaman and Clark families are also plunged into the most ethically difficult decision in modern medicine.
