Watching Phil Donahue today, gave me a few ideas for new discussion
on the net.

	1. He had an attorney for a women who had sued a man, because
           he had claimed to have had a vasectomy, well after they went
           to bed, she became pregnant with a tubal pregnancy, which led
           to her becoming sterile.   The suit was settled out of court.
           The man's attorney was also on the show.

	2. There was a man who had met a women, and after knowing her
           for a week, he went to bed with her, and contracted herpes
           from her.  He claims to have asked her if she had anything
           he could catch before, they went to bed, and she said no.
           He is contemplating sueing her.

	3. Frank Serpico (Yes, the Frank Serpico who wrote the book Serpico)
           who had gotten a women pregnant, he claims she planned to get 
           pregnant by someone who was somewhat famous.  She had told him
           she was on the pill, he has to pay child support of $945 a
           month.

Well what do all you netters think,  should cases like these be allowed in the
already overcrowded court system?  What are your opinions on these type of 
cases?
