Coleman, Admr., Appellee, v. Dogra et al., Appellants.
    [Cite as Coleman v. Dogra, 108 Ohio St.3d 529, 2006-Ohio-1707.]
    (No. 2004-1239
    Submitted April 13, 2005
    Decided April 19, 2006.)
   {¶ 1} The judgment of the court of appeals is affirmed on the authority of Schirmer v. Mt. Auburn Obstetrics & Gynecologic Assoc., Inc., 108 Ohio St.3d 494, 2006-Ohio-942, 844 N.E.2d 1160.

Lundberg Stratton, O’Donnell and Lanzinger, JJ., dissent.

O’Donnell, J.,

dissenting.

{¶ 2} Because the creation of a medical-malpractice action for wrongful birth following negligent genetic testing or failure to diagnose a fetal defect does not fit into traditional tort analysis and involves matters of public policy better left to the General Assembly, as I explained in my dissenting opinion in Schirmer v. Mt. Auburn Obstetrics & Gynecologic Assoc., Inc., 108 Ohio St.3d 494, 2006-Ohio-942, 844 N.E.2d 1160, I respectfully dissent.

Lundberg Stratton, J., concurs in the foregoing opinion.

Reminger & Reminger Co., L.P.A., William A. Meadows, Brian D. Sullivan, and Jennifer Rinkes, for appellant Vikram Dogra, M.D.

dissenting.

{¶ 3} For the reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in Schirmer v. Mt. Auburn Obstetrics & Gynecologic Assoc., Inc., 108 Ohio St.3d 494, 2006-Ohio-942, 844 N.E.2d 1160, I respectfully dissent.
