Suing over wrongful life

This story in the SMH today is chilling, quite chilling. A lesbian couple are suing because a doctor implanted one of them with twins when they only wanted a single child. The mother explained that:

She and her partner, who were living in Watson at the time, had planned to go to England after the birth, but their plans were scrapped when they discovered they would be having twins, jeopardising their careers, relationship and health.

Welcome to parenthood, ladies.

Michael, this reminds me of my eldest son, who is newly in a private school and who asks me why I drive a 'crap car' (i.e. family-of-six people mover without leather seats, leather-coated steering wheel and DVD players for each kid!). I say, "darling, if I didn't have you, I wouldn't have to have a 'crap car'"
