| 单词 | Wrongful birth |
| 释义 | 不當出生 A claim by parent(s) of an unwanted child for negligent non-termination of pregnancy and the damage resulting to them from the birth of the child: McFarlane & Anor v Tayside Health Board [2000] 2 AC 59, [1999] 4 All ER 961, 3 WLR 1301 (HL). It is the birth of a child in circumstances in which the pregnancy would have been terminated or the conception avoided but for the defendant’s wrongful conduct: McFarlane & Anor v Tayside Health Board, supra. A wrongful birth may arise from a failure to diagnose that a foetus is deformed or it may be the result of the defendant supplying the parents with defective contraceptives: Emeh v Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster Area Health Authority [1984] 3 All ER 1044, [1985] QB 1012 (CA). Wrongful birth actions are brought by the parents and are distinguishable from wrongful life actions which are brought by or on behalf of the child. A mother can have a claim for wrongful birth for her own personal injury in connection with a pregnancy and her loss of earnings during confinement, and may also have claims for losses incurred during the child’s upbringing, which ought to be regarded as economic loss: Anderson v Forth Valley Health Board (1997) 44 BMLR 108, 1998 SLT 588. Loss of amenity is regarded as akin to economic loss: Allen v Bloomsbury Health Authority [1993] 1 All ER 651. An action for wrongful birth after a failed sterilisation operation is an action for personal injuries: Walkin v S Manchester HA [1995] 1 WLR 1543. See also Wrongful conception; Wrongful life. 由父母就因疏忽未終止懷孕而誕出不受歡迎的嬰兒，及該嬰兒的出生對其所造成的損害所提出的申索：McFarlane & Anor v Tayside Health Board [2000] 2 AC 59, [1999] 4 All ER 961, 3 WLR 1301（上議院）。嬰兒是在懷孕應被終止，或受孕應被避免，但由於被告人的不當行為而未被終止或避免得情況下出生的：McFarlane & Anor v Tayside Health Board，見上文。不當出生可能由於診斷失誤而導致胎兒畸形，或可能由於被告人向父母提供有缺陷的避孕藥具而引起的：Emeh v Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster Area Health Authority [1984] 3 All ER 1044, [1985] QB 1012（英國上訴法院）。不當出生訴訟由父母提出的，而不當生命訴訟則是由嬰兒或代表嬰兒提出，兩者有顯著區別。母親可就懷孕對取造成的個人傷害及分娩期間的收入損失提起申索，亦可就撫育孩子所招致的損失（應視作經濟損失）提出申索：Anderson v Forth Valley Health Board (1997) 44 BMLR 108, 1998 SLT 588。生趣損失應視作類似於經濟損失：Allen v Bloomsbury Health Authority [1993] 1 All ER 651。消毒手術失敗後的不當出生訴訟為個人傷害訴訟：Walkin v S Manchester HA [1995] 1 WLR 1543。另見 Wrongful conception; Wrongful life。 |
