Description

This case comes before us on plaintiffs appeal from the lower courts order sustaining defendant-physicians preliminary objections to certain allegations contained in plaintiffs complaint. The intended effect of the preliminary objections is to terminate plaintiffs lawsuit on grounds that plaintiffs action is contrary to law and public policy. The matter before us, of first impression in the appellate courts of Pennsylvania, presents for judicial inquiry and decision the cognizability of an action in law brought by plaintiffs to recover damages against defendant-physicians whose alleged acts of negligence resulted in the birth of a child they feared would be born with mental and physical abnormalities. We affirm the order of the lower court in part and reverse and remand in part.
