Members may be interested in A (A Minor) & ors v A Health and Social Services Trust [2010] NIQB 108, a decision of the High Court in Northern Ireland, to the effect that a child born with the wrong skin colour as a result of careless or improper IVF treatment is not owed a duty of care in negligence by the IVF provider. Not a surprising conclusion, but oddly enough only a week or so after the decision, a similar incident occurred here in Singapore (see here, here, and here for various media reports and analyses). Perhaps a suitable examination question?
