question about birth the law *possible trigger**

Posted by Jen Star on June 25, 2005, at 19:12:50

hi all,
I was just watching the news. They said a woman is suing her doctor b/c they never alerted her that her baby was going to be deformed, and she consequently gave birth to a baby that was severely deformed and who died in pain 2 weeks later. She is suing for "wrongful birth" and says the condition, which showed up easily on a sonogram, was not correctly diagnosed. She would have chosen to abort the baby had she known, to save pain/suffering for the baby and herself.
Do you think people should be allowed to sue for "wrongful birth?"
Should she get monetary comp. from the doctor & hospital?
To me it seems strange. I don't know what to think about this!
