First off, this case might win its appeal. LabCorp ran the test, but they cannot predict the mosaicism that seems to have occurred here. They can only test the cells they had for testing. I see no evidence of any mistake.
Also, unless these parents are sickos from hell (and it looks like they could be), in a year and a half they will withdraw their suit as they fall in love with their precious baby and won’t be fighting for his death. As they go from treatment to treatment, their hearts will swell like the Grinch’s as they see children with greater disabilities and the families that treasure them.
Right now they are just idiots that don’t know anything about life. There are risks. There are secrets: it isn’t all about money or perfect bodies or intelligence. They are in for some major growth.
See below. If they are seeking damages because they now must care for a child they would have killed, then why not offer the child up for adoption. I am sure some parents who love less than healthy kids would adopt and care for the child at theri own expense, yet i think Valley Medical would be willing for provide a substantial support for such, instead of 50 mil.
Their son, Oliver, is already 5 years old. They filed suit when he was 2. By now they’ve seen the other families and their responses to their children’s disabilities. They won’t give up, and neither will their lawyers who stand to earn $17-20M.
Well said, Yaelle. Well said.
