You know, if these parents already had one child with the disease how can they possibly blame their doctor for their decision to get pregnant again? This isn’t an age where information isn’t widely available, and it isn’t like if they were really doing all they could for the first child they couldn’t have known of the risks for the second child having the same genetic defect... Wouldn’t that be the FIRST thing on their minds??? I know it would have been on mine...
This is such a slippery slope. I can see in the near future where doctors will be blamed for not warning of all sorts of supposedly “preventable” genetic defects. Even by people who KNEW there was a possibility of their child inheriting a disorder (i.e. family histories) and also those who are just greedy. This will only hasten the work of those who believe in eugenics, as well as driving up the prices for pre-natal care (due to increased insurance costs for obstetricians) thus leading to more children being born ill (due to more people being unable to afford quality care). How incredibly sad...
One of the most evil things I have ever heard of.
