I am grateful to Prof. George Annas, editor-in-chief emeritus of Law, Medicine & Health Care, for suggesting that we print Prof. Schucking's account of Brenda Hewitt's death. The story first appeared in the Village Voice of June 11, 1985, and we are reprinting it with some changes suggested by Prof. Schucking.Google Scholar
