"Prof. William L. Meadow, a leading authority on the care of infants born prematurely or with significant health concerns, died Sept. 14 at the age of 70, after battling leukemia for four years.

Meadow, along with clinical medical ethics colleagues Mark Siegler and John Lantos, was a pioneer in the development of neonatal bioethics—the complex set of medical and personal calculations that guide decision making for parents, physicians and nurses who care for infants born too soon or with significant congenital problems or infections."
