Wrongful Death of Baby in Womb Sparks Debate

An Alabama woman filed a wrongful death suit against her doctor after her baby died while she was three months pregnant. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that the wrongful death suit was not viable because the child was still unborn. Those who are contesting this decision state that there have been a countless number of personal injury cases successfully filed against doctors and medical companies whose products hurt children, including children who were affected while still in the womb. National and state legislatures are being discussed and debated, but it seems as if Alabama's wrongful death law would in fact apply to an unborn child and 9 other states have a similar statute.
