You shall rue the day

The couple claimed that Dr. Boris Kousseff failed to diagnose their first son’s genetic disorder, called Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, which is the inability to correctly produce or synthesize cholesterol, after his 2002 birth.Had the disorder been correctly diagnosed, a test would have indicated whether the couple’s second child also was afflicted and they would have terminated the pregnancy, according to the lawsuit.
A question:
Given North America’s woeful demographic trends, do you believe that this court award will make it more or less likely for an American doctor to recommend that a couple have children?
ps Please bear in mind that the population of the United States is roughly 10 times larger than Canada’s.
“Given North America’s woeful demographic trends, do you believe that this court award will make it more or less likely for an American doctor to recommend that a couple have children?”
I don’t understand the link between demographic trends and this issue (unless you have already decided that doctors will recommend that couple not have children, and couples take this advice in high numbers, making the US age faster).
The US accepts more immigrants (legal and illegal) every year than anywhere else in the world. To assume that their demographic issues are the same as those in Canada and Europe is quite simply false. America doesn’t need babies, it needs workers - which they get in ample suply. Some quick fact checking might have informed your question.
