The Wrongful Life Theory

There is two theories in this case. They are wrongful birth and wrongful life. The wrongful life theory was dismissed by the courts. I agree with this because how is the court supposed to compensate an individual for non-life? If there is no life, there is nothing to compensate. The other theory was wrongful birth. Even though I personally do not agree with their claims of wrongful birth, I can see the validity in the claim. This is because the doctors failed to do vastly important medical procedures that could have altered this child’s life. Obviously, Sharon having Down syndrome would increase the amount of medical bills she would have. Thus, the family should be compensated for the medical bills that Sharon will incur because of the Down
syndrome. I think the parents should be responsible for expenses outside of medical bills.
