Parents claim right not to be born in New Jersey case
New Jersey Supreme Court weighs an appeal by Mr and Mrs Gleitman of North Arlington arguing their deaf blind child had no right to be born. They sue Jersey City doctors for negligence over German measles during pregnancy and allege they were misled about abortion options. Doctors testified a 20 percent deformity risk was disclosed, and abortion was deemed unjustified given the chance of normal development. The lower court blocked the suit as abortion would have been illegal under state law. The case was argued Tuesday and taken under study.
