well i guess hmmm I'm not sure what i think. i think maybe 18 years of child support is a little long, i mean if she really did not want to have a baby she could have aborted or adopted. Are IUD's supose to be 100%? if not i don't see it. they said it could not be found in her body??? meaning he never put it in? then I could see the payments actually.

It is a little tricky--there is obvious malpractice, so teah he should pay something and truthfully, he might be paying less than some docs do for malpractice suites. On the the other hand, IUD isn't infaillable, so the dad should be helping, too--don't you think?
Clear malpractice, tho...but parents are still responsible...

Mummy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird...
I have an IUD- I just got it about 2 months after DS was born. I was told when it went in that there's a possibility that it could fall out and that I should notice if this happens, but some people don't. Just in case, the doctor told me how to check for the string if I'm nervous that it's not in place. It is supposedly about 99.9% effective and you can't fuck it up by forgetting to take a pill, etc. But there's still that .01% chance that it won't work. Nothing is absolutely fool proof. However, it looks like the issue here is that the IUD fell out and the woman became pregnant. If the doctor did not tell the woman the risk of the IUD possibly falling out then maybe he should have to compensate her...
I don't think the IUD is infallible and it isn't like the doc stuck his dick up there when he was installing it, right? So how was he really responsible for the pregnancy...
Don't think I agree with that one.
The article also states, (loosely translated) that the woman found out about her pregnancy when she was 16 weeks along, which is too late, to have an abortion (legally) in germany. The woman wasn't able to take a job offer she had, because of this pregnancy.
In that case it's totally different. The doctor should pay damages- if that is to come in the form of child support then so be it. Although I do have to wonder where the father is in all this. In such a situation should he be void of responsibility? I don't know if that is the case here or not because the article doesn't mention the father.
I went in for an IUD a few months after giving birth--she tried to implant it but said my uterus was still enlarged. She assumed it was still enlarged from the preg. No--actually I was pregnant. The subsequent ob's I saw were shocked that they hadn't done a preg test before trying to implant it. I had an abortion, but if I had chosen to carry to term apparently the fetus could have been negatively affected by that attempt to insert it. I wonder about liability, there, but haven't 'done' anything about it. Seems a human mistake.

I think this goes too far.
but I can sympathize.
