In 'wrongful life' suit, disabled woman blames doctor for letting her be born
"A blind and deaf Australian woman who claims she never should have been born is suing a doctor for a lifetime of suffering in the country's first 'wrongful life' suit.
Alexia Harriton, 24, is seeking compensation from the doctor who misdiagnosed rubella in the first trimester of her mother's pregnancy, claiming Olga Harriton would have aborted her had she been aware of the potential birth defects arising from the illness."
