Re: Couple sues doctor over disabled son's birth -

So the couple and the doctor both knew he has this disorder, but the doctor failed to tell him it had a 50% chance to be passed on? And they are blaming it on the doctor? Is that what the article is saying?
If I knew I had some rare genetic disorder that could potential disable me for life I think I'd automatically be reconsidering having a child, and definitely asking questions before I spent thousands of dollars trying to conceive one.
Unless I'm reading it wrong, and they didn't realize he had this disorder until after the baby was conceived then I still don't see how the blame would be on the doctor. Any testing I had while I was pregnant was completely voluntary (minus gestational diabetes). This is another one of those articles that has waaay too little information in my opinion.
When reality is a prison, your mind can set you free.
