Originally broadcast on American experience in 2005.
Voices: Lee Wilkof, Joanna Merlin, Kyra Sedgwick.
When David Vetter died at the age of 12, he was already world famous: the boy in the plastic bubble. Here, serious questions are answered. Did doctors, in a rush to save a child, condemn the boy to a life not worth living and instead kill him?
DVD, region 1; Dolby Digital; widescreen.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
The boy in the bubble submitted by Diahann on July 27, 2015, 9:55pm As a kid I really enjoyed learing about medicine and how this kids life was so different from mine. Today I wonder if this child would have a chance to live a full life with all the medical advances?
