A jury of twelve doctors, scientists and religious ministers will meet to-morrow morning in a room at the Athletic Club adjoining the Chicago hospital where five- weeks-old Helaine Colan lies with a growth slowly mov- ing toward the brain, which can only be cured by removing the baby's eyes.
It will be the task of the jury to decide the medical and moral problem which all America has been discussing for three days.
Whether It is better that the child should be allowed to efle,
Or whether it should be operated
