Jeffrey Robert Gleitman, an Infant by His Guardian Ad Litem, Irwin Gleitman and Sandra Gleitman…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court's dismissal of all three counts, holding that the infant's wrongful‑life claim and the parents' claims for emotional distress and costs are not actionable because damages are not cognizable at law. Separate dissenting opinions argue the physicians owed a duty to inform and that damages could be measured, while a concurring opinion focuses on the criminal law aspects of abortion.
