Recent advances in prenatal genetic counseling have expanded the scope of malpractice liability. Parents and children have both brought tort actions for negligent prenatal genetic counseling. The child's "wrongful life" claim is a unique and difficult moral and legal issue. This comment examines wrongful life and the parents' "wrongful birth" action, and suggests a model of recovery for wrongful birth that avoids the insoluble problems inherent in a wrongful life claim while providing for the needs of the disabled child.
产前遗传咨询的最新进展扩大了医疗事故责任的范围。父母和子女都对疏忽的产前遗传咨询提起了侵权诉讼。孩子的“错误生命”索赔是一个独特且棘手的道德和法律问题。本评论审视了“错误生命”以及父母的“错误出生”诉讼，并提出了一种“错误出生”的赔偿模式，该模式既能避免“错误生命”索赔中固有的无法解决的问题，又能满足残疾儿童的需求。
