Kind of messed up though. Can't imagine any doctor is going to go near anything involving contraceptives in Germany from now on.
I don't know about that. In very rough numbers, assuming that child support would come to about (and this is being generous) $1,000 USD/mo, that would total $216,000 until the child is 18. Further, if the amount can be paid out monthly, then the NPV of that $216,000 (discounted at an admittedly arbitrary 5%) is only about $142,000.

How much are families awarded by the courts when doctors are negligent in other areas and a patient dies? $1,000,000? $5,000,000?

But this doesn't seem to have stopped surgeons performing heart surgery, not to even mention breast enhancements...
