Next week sees the start of a new series of Radio 4's Inside The Ethics Committee, in which Joan Bakewell and a panel of experts explore the workings of clinical ethics committees through the discussion of real-life cases.

Alongside the series, the Afternoon Play presents three dramas which get inside the emotional realities of dealing with ethical dilemmas. In today's award-winning play by P G Morgan, a young woman is urgently admitted to hospital and prepared to deliver her baby by Caesarian section. What happens in the next few minutes will test the judgement - and the understanding - of everyone in the room.
