Abstract
Abstract The notion of a wrongful life figures in both legal and moral theory. Legally, a wrongful life suit is brought by, or on behalf of, someone who claims that they were wrongfully brought into existence, typically on the grounds that it could reasonably be foreseen that their quality of life would be so bad as to ensure that their life would not be worth living. Morally, a wrongful life claim is that the person's creation flouts some moral norm. The notion of wrongful life raises deep and difficult questions concerning the relationship between harm and wrong‐doing, the scope and grounds of our obligations to those who do not exist, and the nature of parental rights and responsibilities ( see Parents' Rights and Responsibilities; Nonidentity Problem).
