Internationally case law has developed in regard to actions which in due course were given the following labels. "Wrongful pregnancy" or "wrongful conception" for cases where a healthy but unwanted child is born, following negligent contraceptive advice by a doctor or a negligent sterilization or abortion procedure, and the parents claim damages; "wrongful birth" where such a claim is brought by the parents of an abnormal or disabled child; "wrongful life" where a claim is brought by or on behalf of the abnormal or disabled child itself. The first judgments in South Africa were handed down during the past seven years and are discussed in this article.
在国际上，针对一些行为，判例法不断发展，这些行为在适当的时候被赋予了以下标签。对于因医生疏忽的避孕建议、疏忽的绝育或堕胎程序而导致健康但不想要的孩子出生，且父母要求损害赔偿的情况，称为“不当怀孕”或“不当受孕”；对于由异常或残疾儿童的父母提出此类索赔的情况，称为“不当出生”；对于由异常或残疾儿童本人或代表其提出索赔的情况，称为“不当生命”。南非的首批判决是在过去七年中作出的，本文将对此进行讨论。
