When Charlotte and Sean O’Keefe’s daughter, Willow, is born with severe osteogenesis imperfecta, they are
devastated – she will suffer hundreds of broken bones as she grows, a lifetime of pain. As the family struggles to
make ends meet to cover Willow’s medical expenses, Charlotte thinks she has found an answer. If she files a
wrongful birth lawsuit against her ob/gyn for not telling her in advance that her child would be born severely disabled,
the monetary payouts might ensure a lifetime of care for Willow. But it means that Charlotte has to get up in a court of
law and say in public that she would have terminated the pregnancy if she’d known about the disability in advance
– words that her husband can’t abide, that Willow will hear, and that Charlotte cannot reconcile. And the
ob/gyn she’s suing isn’t just her physician – it’s her best friend.







Handle With Care explores the knotty tangle of medical ethics and personal morality. When faced with the reality of a
fetus who will be disabled, at which point should an OB counsel termination? Should a parent have the right to make that
choice? How disabled is TOO disabled? And as a parent, how far would you go to take care of someone you love? Would you
alienate the rest of your family? Would you be willing to lie to your friends, to your spouse, to a court? And perhaps
most difficult of all – would you admit to yourself that you might not actually be lying?
