In 1963 the Illinois Appellate Court dismissed a similar suit (Zepeda v. Zepeda) on the ground that recognition of a bastard's right to collect damages would mean creation of a new tort. If that happened, ruled the Illinois court, "one might seek damages for being born of a certain color, another because of race, one for being born with a hereditary disease, another for inheriting unfortunate...
