GRECO V. UNITED STATES
111 Nev. 405, 893 P.2d 345 (1995)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Greco (P), malpractice complainant, was before the court by virtue of
a certification order from the United States District Court to answer certain questions
related to the negligently caused unwanted birth of a child suffering from birth defects.
FACTS: As a result of negligence by physicians at Nelles Air Force Base (D) during
Greco's (P) prenatal care, P's son was born with a variety of disabling conditions. Sundi
and Joshua Greco, Mother and child (Ps) are seeking to recover damages from the United
States (D) arising out of the negligence of physicians who, they claim, negligently failed
to make a timely diagnosis of physical defects and anomalies afflicting the child when it
was still in the mother's womb. Sundi Greco asserts that the physicians' negligence denied
her the opportunity to terminate her pregnancy and thereby caused damages attendant to the
avoidable birth of an unwanted and severely deformed child. On Joshua's behalf, Sundi Greco
avers that the physicians' negligence and the resultant denial of Joshua's mother's right to
terminate her pregnancy caused Joshua to be born into a grossly abnormal life of pain and
deprivation. Questions were certified to the District Court.
