RIP Stacey
I am ashamed to be part of the current culture in America at times Like this. I wish them a speed-pass straight to judgement on their souls.
This seems insane. They sued their OBGYN for birthing the baby? And won?!?
I’ve never heard of anyone getting a prenatal cystic fibrosis test. This just sounds ridiculous
What a despicable, selfish, self-centered couple. It’ s “all about meeeee!”
I guess this is what Obama meant by being punished with a baby.
The child deserves better parents than this.
They recently made huge inroads to curing CF, or at least curing the symptoms..
Time to stop practicing medicine in Connecticut, at least baby doctor wise.
They see this person suffering, and that person with a lot of money.
So they play Santa Claus with the rich's person's money.
We were warned before the birth of our 3rd child that he would have severe disabilities.
That severely disabled boy graduated high school, won several academic awards, got his driver’s license, has life-long friends, works out regularly at the gym, and got engaged to a beautiful young lady (seriously, she’s not just lovely on the inside, she’s very pretty, earns good money, and adores him to distraction).
Was life hard? Heck, yes, it was. He was bullied incessantly for being different, until he clobbered one bully so badly that the rest stayed away. He was socially awkward. He had trouble learning.
At the same time, he has advanced computer skills, is hardworking, courteous, and ethical, can remember and pronouce foreign names easily (even in different languages), has a wicked sense of humor, is a peacemaker, knows when I am going to have a seizure even before I do, and can tell instantly if a person has a dark soul.
These people are lower than bridge trolls. Remove that child from their care. They are not parents. They are breeders, at best.
“Forced to prioritize her care over their aspirations”.
Oh, wow. Well, a healthy child would require the same commitment, which apparently they hadn’t considered or were going to pass said responsibility on to a nanny or someone else. And, a healthy child vs a CF child—who is to say what percentage more, in terms of time and effort, a CF child would be. They could have had a healthy child that developed cancer or was hit by a car requiring more work. Really no way to measure this aspect.
They also failed to consider that they both, are 50% each, 100% in total, responsible for the child’s inheriting CF.
So, in my estimation they are at fault and are owed ZERO.
Lawsuits like this are why some rural areas lost their OBGYNs.
The local nitwit juries believe doctors are bottomless pits of money for plunder.
I’m glad I’m 63 and will be gone before we totally go to Moloch.
“Mommy? Daddy? If you guys can’t earn as much money as you potentially could’ve because of me, how did we afford so many nice things?
“Well, you see Pumpkin, we sued the doctor for $2 million because he didn’t tell us you were going to ruin our lives. If he had told us, you would have been dismembered and vacuumed out of my body, Sweetie Pie.”
That pour girl is going to need years of therapy to feel with the guilt complex her sperm and egg donors have foisted upon her.
“There once was a Dr. named George Tiller, until Scott Roeder put him in the chiller”.
Well the good news is that the attorneys will get at least 50% of this THEN the rest will be taxed at 50% so they really end up with a whole lot of nothing!! May they rot in hell for their utter selfishness!!
Was this a jury trial. If so then the jurors should be aborted.
Wrongful birth???? That’s FUBAR
