TWO Victorian couples are suing doctors for failing to diagnose Down Syndrome in their unborn babies, denying them the chance to terminate the pregnancies.
The couples are claiming unspecified damages for economic loss, continuing costs of care of the children, and "psychiatric injury".
Both say they would have aborted their pregnancies had they been told their children would be born with Down Syndrome.
