Sounds like their life has been affected horribly.

Not sure what the relevance of the story is for us here, but I will pick one thing that baffles me. Why sue the medical professionals rather than hold the parents responsible? Aren't they the person's legal guardian? Do we really want to outsource that responsiblity to the state or private institutions? It is incoherent to say on the one hand "parents rights" (against the state) but on the other hand disclaim accountability.
