The High Court today ruled against two severely disabled people who claimed they should not have been born.
In what’s been termed a case of “wrongful life,” the judges found the pair did not have a right to mount a case for negligence against their mothers’ doctors.
Can you imagine the precedent that would have been set if the case went the other way!!!
Jinx! I just blogged on that too, but I think you beat me too it. I hadn’t seen yours though until just now.
sydney morning herald beat me to it!
smh is where I read about it too
how sad…it makes me so sad to read this story…I mean, I guess I have no understanding of how hard life would be for the full time carers…but what an awful thing…to go to court and say ‘My child should not have been born…they have no purpose…I want a pay out…I mean, obviously, as I said…I am not in their shoes…but God doesn’t put people here for no reason…they all have a purpose and a right to life…how sad that these people would say that they would have rathered abort their children…even if it is hard…=**(
