Re: Couple sues doctor over disabled son's birth - February 1st 2012, 07:08 PM

If they won, which I believe is unlikely, the money would go to fund the child's care for the rest of his life. It's not the IVF doctor's job to screen for genetic disorders it's the parent's responsibility. It should be done before you have children no matter how you go about it. You can't decide that you want a child bad enough to go through all that and then sue the doctor because the child isn't perfect.
