No..the dr didn’t test the mother genetically which would have let parents chose to not get pregnant or at least prepare if they chose to have a child,
To not test parents for serious genetic issues is medical negligence
My cousin has CF. I am a carrier. Our doctor tested my wife for CF before we decided to get pregnant. If both are carriers then it’s better than 50/50 that the child will have it.
When did that become the standard of care for OBGYN? To my knowledge, there is no systematic identification of potential DNA issues for the purpose of weeding them out and terminating the birth.
Only if this particular genetic issue is a standard test. If they told the doctor that they were both carriers and ge refused to test, then he is liable to a degree. They could have sought a second opinion or fired him and used another doctor.
