Suing over half failed abortion
A mother whose abortion failed is suing the NHS for �250,000. Stacy Dow had an abortion in 2001, when pregnant at 16 with twins. One twin survived the operation and is now four years old. Miss Dow's lawyers argue that their client was not told that her abortion might fail, and the Tayside University Hospitals NHS Trust is therefore guilty of breach of warranty. However, health service lawyers say there is no contract between patients and health boards. Miss Dow defends her decision to seek compensation, saying "I have a child now that wasn't planning to have and the hospital should take some responsibility for that... I wouldn't dream of giving [my daughter] up for anything now. ...but some day I'm going to have to tell her she could have had a brother or sister. How am I ever going to tell her what I did?"
