Abstract
This 1973 classic bioethics film in bioethics education discusses the rights of the retarded. Bertha, a mildly retarded young woman (not Down's Syndrome), was given an IUD at age 15, and requests its removal when she is 19. Various social workers, other health personnel, and Eunice Kennedy Shriver discuss Bertha's and society's rights, particularly concerning sex and procreation.
