Children who sue for being born

My husband read this article in his "New Scientist" magazine.  This link is pretty much the same article though, and uh....wtf.

This article isn't as clear as the one in the magazine -- while it is more common to have the parents suing when they have a child born with a disability, the new "phenomenon" in Israel started in 1980 where a child sued for damages for being born with Tay-Sachs disease.  It is now growing in popularity...it's bizarre.  How can you sue for being born?

Maybe its done to get money to pay medical bills caused by having a disease/disorder?  Not that I agree with it, but I'm trying to see a reason behind it.
