The logical case for "wrongful life".
Suits that claim that a child would be better off never having been born often founder on conceptual and logical dilemmas.

The New Jersey Supreme Court's decision in the Procanik case to limit damages to extraordinary medical expenses, barring recovery for pain and suffering, is a reasonable resolution.
