Wrongful life
is the name given to a legal action in which someone is sued for failing to prevent the birth of a severely disabled child.
Typically a child and the parents will sue a doctor or a hospital for failing to provide information about the disability during the pregnancy, or a genetic disposition before the pregnancy. Had the mother been aware of this information, it is argued, she would have had an abortion, or chosen not to conceive at all.
