Although the trial began a while ago this is the first I have heard of this story. Essentially these parents are suing because a doctor failed to detect a rare genetic disease that is all but fatal to all children that are born with it. I understand the reasons why the parents would be upset but should someone be allowed to sue based on doctors failing to diagnose a disease before the child is even born? As little as five or ten years ago if a child was born with this disease it would be extremely unfortunate but no one's fault, now the thought is that if it's possible to detect a problem it has to be detected instantly and if it isn't, it's someone's fault.
