wrongful life

Now that prospective parents have the option to genetically design their kids (at least to a point), what does this mean to society in terms of other responsibilities involved in child-making?
2022- A year when law and public health got really tangled. We had the Supreme Court deal with abortion, gun control, and mandatory vaccination. Internationally, euthanasia laws burgeoned.  Some states enacted laws to protect the rights of children born by fraudulent misuse of IVF, and courts addressed the question of proving causation in toxic tort cases.
Who would have thought that in today’s litigious America, someone could negligently harm another– and the law doesn’t recognize a claim? One generally unrecognized claim is called wrongful life. It arises when a doctor botches an abortion or fails to timely diagnose a pregnant mother’s German measles or when an IVF facility in some way negligently causes a baby to be born with severe injuries. Judges, lawyers, and ethicists are in conflict on what the law should be.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has produced some eight million children since its inception in 1978 with the birth of Louise Brown. But, like many novel technologies, problems abound - including errors and malfeasance on the part of the very lucrative IVF industry, which in the US is virtually unregulated. The novel technology, its problems, related lawsuits, and lack of legal redress in some cases raise essential questions about the value of a human life.
