Show Knotty Legal Point for Court to Solve In Budapest the courts are being called upon to settle the question of whether a "Voronoff operation" performed per-formed on the client of an insurance company relieves the company of the necessity to settle Its liabilities toward the client. An Insurance company granted an unusually advantageous annuity to an elderly man. The company com-pany has learned that its client has undergone the operation with extremely ex-tremely satisfactory results, and It declares itself unwilling to continue paying the annuity, as its client has artificially prolonged his life. The man who underwent the operation pleads that every man has a right to prolong his life by any legitimate nieans, and that had he attempted to shorten it by any method, the insurance insur-ance company would have made no remonstrance. |
