Probably more like a parent or guardian who believes that the disabled child is going to need a lot of money to get through life. The wrongful life claim sounds like a stretch, but what are the parents/guardians supposed to do? They have a duty to make the poor kid's life as comfortable as possible. Their concern should be for the kid. They can't worry that someone might find their lawsuit to be offensive.
