If the woman is mentally disabled, then how did she make the decision to sue? No, her mother simply didn't want to have to take care of a "defective" child, and wishes that her child never existed.

[Alas Babylon!]

Lawyers said that if her mother, Olga Harriton, had known of the extent of the disabilities, she would have had an abortion.

I doubt very much that she would have "known" the extent of the disabilites while she was still pregnant. All the doctor could have done, if in fact he knew the mother had rubella, is advise her on the POSSIBILITY of it deform her yet unborn child. There is no absolute certainty that any disability would have been the case.

The question is, would the mother have aborted her child without any certainty at all that the child was harmed? You cannot use the knowledge you have today to make the decision then. Case dismissed for defendent.

I think I'm missing something?!?

If this woman is sooooo unhappy for being born, but is capable of suing, then she's capable of committing suicide - problem solved.

[AmericanChef]

How do these things ever get to court? What is there to discuss or "discover" in court at this point? ARGH!!

[Cboldt]

The solution is simple. Abort her now.

[WorkingClassFilth]

My solution?

1. Dismiss the case.
2. Send the woman to a state asylum.
3. Kill her lawyer.

How sad! God's grace is available to all!

[Mr Ducklips]

I remember Johnny Carson saying that his son told him he didn't ask to be born. To which Carson replied, "If you had, the answer would have been 'No'."

[newzjunkey]

It would seem suicide would've been more appropriate than a lawsuit. Of course then the payoff is not quite as high!

[Chode]

listen stooopid... we can give you a Retro-Abortion, would you like that??? i bet that would shut her silly fat cow ass up...

[impatient]

Remember that story a few years ago about the lesbian deaf couple purposely trying to conceive a deaf child?

So would liberals approve of aborting that child?

Or if a gay child sued gay parents for allowing it to be born gay?

Or worse yet, liberal.

Please FReepmail me if you'd like to be added to or removed from the KofC ping list.

I wonder if this girl's mother has any idea how shallow and money grubbing she looks. She'd probably accept a lethal injection for her daughter if it were a condition of an out-of-court cash settlement. This is all about money.

Olga Harriton (right) says she would
have had an abortion if she had known
that daughter Alexia, 24, was going
to be born permanently disabled.

Woman sues for being born

You?

[azhenfud]

"That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball..."

[Polybius]

An Australian woman who is deaf, blind and physically and mentally disabled wants to sue the doctor who allowed her to be born.

"Doctor, this Court finds you "Guilty as Charged" and sentences you to euthanize this woman."

[Dashing Dasher]

LOL!!!


Now, I've seen EVERYTHING!!!!

[Fawn]

Poor woman.....I wouldn't want to live that way either....

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[marty60]

She wouldn't be doing this if her parents were not telling her everday her life is useless. Pathetic.
