The case is about an infant who suffered from congenital rubella syndrome due to the defendant doctors' failure to diagnose his mother's German measles during pregnancy. The infant and his parents sued the doctors for "wrongful birth" and "wrongful life." The court has allowed the infant to recover extraordinary medical expenses and emotional distress, but not general damages or pain and suffering. The case also involves a claim for malpractice against former attorneys.
