Description 'Wrongful Life' is a somewhat imprecise legal term whereby a parent or child asserts that, had a doctor’s conduct met the required standard of care, the child would not have been born. To date, the cases brought in Australia have focused either on children born with disabilities or on failed sterilisation procedures. In the play 'Wrongful Life', Ron Elisha - a practising GP - pushes the envelope just that little bit further.
