SB 1359: It’s the Law

The fairly new Arizona law prevents the parents of a disabled child (and/or the child) from suing a physician for not disclosing a health defect, as a result of an act or omission, during prenatal care that may otherwise have led to an abortion.  The question is, should doctors be protected from such malpractice suits given the existence of a new, less invasive fetal DNA test that is 98% accurate when it comes to pinpointing certain genetic defects?  What do you think?  Read more about this controversial wrongful birth / wrongful life law along with the views of our Director and Center Faculty Fellow, Gary E. Marchant by reading Doctor’s Discretion featured in this September’s issue of Phoenix Magazine.
