Couple Wins Suit, Doc Didn't Suggest Aborting Baby With Spina Bifida

A couple in New Zealand have won their case at a federal appeals court because they would have aborted their little girl had they known she had spina bifida. The parents of a child with the condition could win a monetary settlement following the ruling saying they were "denied" a chance to abort their daughter.

During ultrasounds scans as the pregnancy progressed, doctors missed signs of the birth "defect" and the couple said that, had the spina bifida been detected, they would have killed their daughter in an abortion. Instead, the little girl was born in 2007 and the couple has been in court even since. Ref. Source 7
