AB - This paper is about ' "Wrongful Life" torts. In a suit for ‘wrongful life’, the plaintiff(usually an infant) brings an action(usually against a physician) claiming that some negligent action has caused the plaintiff's life, say by not informing the parents of the likely prospect that their child would be born with severe defects. The most perplexing feature of this is that the plaintiff is claiming that he would have been better off if he had never been born. A number of arguments have appeared which purport to show that ‘wrongful life’ claims should not be allowed, either because it is senseless to claim that one would be better off if one had not existed or that it is impossible to assess the extent to which someone has been damaged by being brought into existence. This paper investigated various cases in which ‘Unwanted child' can be born, and the origin and definition of lawsuits for ‘wrongful life’, reviewing the issues about the damage and its evaluation in terms of human dignity and values violation.
