The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of the infant’s wrongful‑life claim but reversed the dismissal of the parents’ wrongful‑birth claim, holding that the parents may recover for emotional distress caused by the physicians’ failure to advise them of amniocentesis, while remanding for trial on the remaining issues.
