Question: Would you allow lawyers to represent you in a legal case of prenatal misdiagnosis and wrongful birht of a sickle cell child?
The assumption here is that the prospective parents are not aware of "sickle cell disease" or thier chance of passing this to thier offspring. In addition, the healthcare provider did not tell them about it or test for SCD prenatally or post-natally.
You can follow this discussion here!
Can you imagine that two "at risk" individuals contemplating a family would not know about sickle cell disease?
How high is the mountain of sickle cell "unawareness" that we are climbing?
I'd like to hear your thoughts.
