INTERESTING LIABILITY VERDICT

by Bob Walsh

A recent verdict against a fertility doctor and his clinic in New York is worthy of note. Two children, both born in 2009, have a condition known as Fragile X Syndrome. It is a genetic trait and results in significant to severe intellectual and developmental impairment. The parents had been told that the donor eggs were screened for genetic defects.

The amount of the judgement has yet to be determined but will no doubt be substantial.
