Wrongful Life

Dovetailing nicely with my post on demographic winter below, here is a story from Australia about two couples suing their doctors for essentially, wrongful life.  Basically, the doctors failed to diagnose the unborn children with Down Syndrome  because the parents would have aborted them if they had known.  Raising a child with specials needs is expensive don't you know -- so the hospitals should be on the hook for the financial burden the parents now face...



Christ takes it for granted that men are bad.  Until we really feel this assumption of His to be true, though we are part of the world He came to save, we are not part of the audience to whom His words are addressed. -- C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

May these children never learn their parents preferred that they were aborted.  Lord have mercy, for our sins are without number.
