I heard a joke on the radio here about the Minnesota couple who lost 5 out of 6 of their sextuplets. The joke was along the lines of "What do you call it when 5 babies die because their parents wouldn't get a selective abortion? Answer: natural selection." Sick. Actionable? Who knows. The quaint standard in the Restatement of Torts may well be satisfied on those facts. I’d be interested to hear what people think about the burn victim’s lawsuit.
