Mason looks at the legal response to those aspects of the troubled
pregnancy which require or involve medico-legal intervention. The
unwanted pregnancy is considered particularly in the light of the
Abortion Act 1967, s.1(1)(d) and the related action for so-called
wrongful birth due to faulty ante-natal care. The unexpected or
uncovenanted birth of a healthy child resulting from failed
sterilisation is approached through an analysis of the seminal case
of McFarlane and associated cases involving disability in either
the neonate or the mother. The disabled neonate's right to sue for
its diminished life is discussed and the legal approach to the
management of severe congenital disease is analysed - thus
following Baroness Hale in believing that care of the newborn is an
integral part of pregnancy. Aspects are considered from historical
and comparative perspectives, including coverage of experience in
the USA, the Commonwealth and Europe.
