IVF parents seeking payout for depression: Debbie and Lawrence Waller are suing the IVF specialist who oversaw the conception of their son Keeden, because he suffered a massive stroke four days after birth that caused severe brain damage.
Keeden, 11, cannot walk or talk, and suffers dangerous seizures on a regular basis. Mr and Mrs Waller say the stroke was the result of a rare blood clotting condition that Keeden inherited from his father. They say they told the specialist, Dr Christopher James, about the condition but he did not warn them of the 50 per cent risk that it would be passed on.
In addition to seeking compensation for Keeden's life-long care, the Wallers are suing for mental stress under the legal heading of ''nervous shock.''
