Here is a story about New York City moms suing the makers of a baby sex test that apparently gave them wrong results despite being advertised as “infallibly accurate”. I’m reading it, rolling my eyes all the way to my shoulder blades, thinking about how crazy this world is that people would sue because of something like that. Aren’t there more important things, like your baby being healthy, to worry about?
And then, lo! I had a look at the comments. Full of good old common sense they were. What a relief! I especially like this one:

The fact that they paid $275 for these tests actually says a lot about these ladies!!!
Go read them if you’re in need of a smile.

People really are ridiculous. Even a sonogram is only like 90% accurate. The technician and doctor will tell it can be wrong so some stupid test that they sell over the counter probably has a little room for error. Sadly I don’t know who actually wants, uses, and then makes life plans based on the result. What ever happened to being happy with the prospect of having a baby whether it’s a boy or a girl. That is funny and disturbing at the same time.
The Justice System favours gullible or irresponsible, yet opportunistic people in these cases. By doing so, it encourages all three. Because of the wording of the claim, I fear that the courts will side with the plaintive, due to the accusation of false advertising promoting false assurances.
This is a broad-brush statement, but our Justice System seems to do very little to promote individual responsibility.
