That would fit right in with the Romulan way of thinking.

Well if they are so upset about it, offer them a good cliff to jump or roll off of.
Money damages seem to be a gimmick IMO.
This sounds like satire, but I’m guessing its not. If true, a very sick trend.
It’s probably for insurance reasons. Have the insurance companies pay for the amenities they need to get through life.
I can’t imagine that most of them really think that being dead is really preferential to being alive.

disabled children in Israel sue for wrongful life -— claim they should have been aborted
I'm sure that there is a member from the ROP that would help them, too.
“wrongful life” wtf? Next thing you know someone will say something crazy like, “I don’t want my daughter punished with a baby.”
Who Produces LifeSiteNews?
The service was originally started by Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), a Canadian national pro-life organization headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Campaign Life Coalition, founded in 1978, was one of the first pro-life organizations to emphasize the international dimension of attacks on life and family. Along with a few other groups it pioneered pro-life lobbying at United Nations conferences. CLC president, Jim Hughes, is currently also vice-president of the International Right to Life Federation.
CLC’s international dimension spurred the development of LifeSiteNews as an international news service. LifeSiteNews.com U.S. and Canada are now separate incorporated non-profit organizations, are not involved in direct political action and do not support or oppose political candidates or parties. LifeSiteNews is strictly a news and information service.
The 1997 founding staff of LifeSiteNews are current Managing Director Steve Jalsevac and News Editor John-Henry Westen. LifeSiteNews management and staff writers/researchers are located in various cities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy and France. Three translators also assist with our Spanish and Portuguese versions of LifeSiteNews.
US citizens have become our largest readership. Canadians are next, followed by smaller numbers of readers in many of the nations of the world. LifeSiteNews.com networks regularly with leaders and other organizations around the world.
I feel sick
OUCH! Take yer tagline seriously, don't cha’!
There is mo case in which a “wrongful life” lawsuit has any merit. The act of filing the lawsuit is proof that the parents have failed in their job and raised a spoiled brat, but the lawsuits should all be dismissed. These greedy kids disgust me.
I manned a right to life booth years ago and a mother approached me with a seriously incapacitated child. She tried to set me up a little by asking wouldn't her child be so much better off today had she aborted it. I, of course, had sympathy for the child, but I asked her if she would consider killing him now. She was highly offended and said of course not.....I asked why not, it is the same person you would have killed years ago.....She actually smiled that her set up had not worked and told us to keep up the good work!!!
This doesn’t surprise me one bit.
An unusually high number of genetic problems because of consanguinity.
Jews are historically a fairly litigious people.
Modern Israeli society has huge gaps in regard to proper morality as well as a proper understanding of suffering.
Good for you.
I have had the same happen to me, and I usually point out my disability. :)
No, I am quite happy to be alive!
Not the area of law I specialize in, but I believe that none of the 50 U.S. states recognizes a cause of action for "wrongful life." (The article is about lawsuits in Israel.)
