: Legal Theory BlogBruce on the Economics of Wrongful Life
By Lawrence Solum
Christopher J. Bruce (University of Calgary - Economics) has posted A Womb with (An)other View: An Economic Analysis of the Wrongful Birth Doctrine on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
In what have come to be known as "wrongful birth" or "wrongful conception" actions, individuals who have become pregnant after sterilization procedures have failed, have sued their doctors in negligence. Nicolette Priaulx (2008), using legal reasoning, argued that the British courts' rulings in these cases have been inconsistent and unsupportable. In this paper, I will take the contrary view, arguing that the court's behavior can be explained using economic reasoning.
Hmm.
