In what is being considered a ground-breaking ruling, a 20-year-old woman, Evie Toombes, who sued her mother's general practitioner claiming that she should never have been born has now won millions in damages.
Toombes is a para-showjumping star in Lincolnshire who suffers from spina bifida since birth. Under this condition, the patient suffers from a gap in the spine as it fails to develop in the womb.
