Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law S03E18 - The Sterilization of Judy Simpson

Thoughtful examination of a subject of topical concern, the sterilization of the retarded, especially among the very poor. In this case, the young lady involved is almost 18, only slightly retarded, and unwilling to be sterilized, even though her mother has signed the authorization. The dedicated lady doctor (Eve Arden), may be a bit too harsh in her drive for sterilization and that gives Owen Marshall the cue he needs to explore.
