While working in a pesticide plant, Willy was accidentally exposed to a toxin known to cause genetic defects in the children of exposed parents if the exposure levels exceed a certain level. Generally, the level of exposure can be determined by blood testing. Willy's doctor, Doctor, ran tests, misinterpreted the results and informed Willy that the level of toxins in his body appeared to be too low to pose a risk to any fetus. A year later, a baby girl was born to Willy and his wife with precisely the type of birth defect known to be caused by the toxin. When Willy sues Doctor, what will be the critical issue in the case?

Select one:

A.Doctor will prevail, since she was not the cause of the defect.

B.Doctor will prevail, only if Willy would not have had children if he knew of the potential defect.

C.Willy will prevail, since Doctor has a duty to act as a doctor having the knowledge, skill, and judgment ordinarily possessed by members of the profession.

D.Willy will prevail, since Doctor was the only cause of the injury.
