I rewatching call the midwife. Its got to the thalidomide storyline.
I saw a period drama once where they left a disabled baby by an open window to pass away because it was considered kind.
I thought it was call the midwife? Can you remember what programme it was.

Call the midwife did do this.

It was baby cottingham that was born by emergency c-section.

It was born completely limbless and the nurse left it to die in the sluice room
