By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 00:43 EST, 11 March 2012 | UPDATED: 02:31 EST, 11 March 2012 A couple who sued a hospital for not telling them their unborn child has Down's syndrome has been awarded a $2.9million payout. Ariel and Deborah Levy, who say they would have had an abortion if they had known the child would be disabled, claimed they needed the money to pay for their daughter Kalanit's lifelong care. And a jury agreed, deciding on Friday that Oregon's Legacy Health hospital had been negligent in failing to diagnose the condition in a pre-natal scan. The hospital is considering appealing the verdict, but the Levys' lawyer urged them to 'let this case finally come to an end'.
