Schadevergoeding wegens onrechtmatig bestaan ('wrongful life') onvoldoende beargumenteerd

- In 2005 the Dutch Supreme Court granted a so-called ‘wrongful-life’ claim. Such a claim can only be sustained by establishing that it would have been better for the child not to have been born at all. Because the Court refrained from establishing this, similar claims involving less severe handicaps may unfortunately be filed.
