JERUSALEM, November 10, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - �Wrongful life� lawsuits,
in which doctors are held liable for not discovering fetal abnormalities
that might have prompted parents to abort their child, have become so common
in Israel that the government has set up a committee to investigate the
issue, New Scientist reports.
According to the magazine, wrongful life claims are more prevalent in Israel
where a higher rate of genetic disorders caused by consanguineous (connected
by kinship) marriages (*Incest) has fueled a �pro-genetic testing culture.�
The county has seen an estimated 600 wrongful cases since the first in 1987.
While similar lawsuits in the United States and Canada are often brought by
the parents of disabled children, it is common in Israel for the children
themselves to demand compensation for the fact that they were not killed
in-utero.
Asaf Posner, a medical malpractice lawyer who sits on the government�s Matza
committee which is charged with investigating the issue, has obtained
judgments averaging around 4.5 million shekels (about $1 million U.S.
Dollars) for clients with spina bifida and cystic fibrosis.
Posner defends the lawsuits, arguing that the medical profession would
�become corrupt� without criticism.
Rabbi Avraham Steinberg, a medical ethicist at Hebrew University-Hadassah
Medical School in Jerusalem, disagrees. Steinberg has criticized the
lawsuits as psychologically damaging.
Steinberg claims that some malpractice lawyers are travelling to small
communities around the country where inbreeding is more common in search of
potential clients.
He also noted that the prevalence of such lawsuits has caused doctors to
overstate the likelihood that an unborn child may have a disability,
possibly driving an increase in the number of abortions.
�More testing means more false positives � and that means more abortions,
because geneticists don�t always know if results indicating the possibility
of chromosomal abnormalities are meaningful. I�d like to see a study of
aborted fetuses to see how many are diseased,� he said.

Watch the filthy Christkillers and their disgusting shabbas-goy refuse
to answer the facts in the article.
Notice how parasitic criminals including diseased AIDS-spreaders,
drug dealers and child molesters, and Madoff type swindlers,
all refuse to answer facts detailed.
They are so delusional, from using illegal drugs and AIDS,
that whenever they see an article which they dislike, they blame
it on a grosvenor.
So, these vermin forge and fabricate articles, claiming that a nemesis
happily retired in muslim S. Philippines is haunting them.
