In my opinion, the court was correct in not recovering her funds for the rearing of that child. I believe this because the patient/plaintiff in this case could have gotten another opinion. The second opinion could have terminated the pregnancy. She was not tied down to that one doctor. She is free to see any doctor and to change doctors when she does not agree with their position on her health. Another reason the recovery could have been denied is that the injury was too remote. The “injury” was not caused by this doctor. The doctor just happened to be this woman’s doctor. Thus, the court was justified in not paying out any recovery for this case.
