The Center of Clinical Ethics, created 5 years ago, is an experimental place where « experts » from the civilian society are debating and helping for the ethically difficult medical decisions.
Families and medical teams can refer to the Center to enlighten a decision to be taken about the end of life, the resuscitation of a new-born, the medically assisted procreation, the coma… of a relative or a patient.
With the jurists, philosophers, doctors, journalists… who constitute the Center, the movie explores the dilemnas resulting from the perputally moving border beetween science and morals.
