Re: Heard this morning on the radio...
One of the families lawyers said this about the trial:
The reason why the mother and the handicapped son have a right for compensation was because the mother, being left in the ignorance of the the foetus' anomally, she was unable to choose what to do about it: abort it or let it live. It's perfectly allowed to abort a foetus when one knows the kind of genetic disease it has. She was left in total ignorance. The journalist said: but shouldn't only the mother be compensated, in that case? Answer: Well, the problem is that the mother won't live as long as the son, so it's also for the son.
