In that article he raised the issue of the legal status of a fetus that, although aborted, is in fact born alive. In this article I argue that any such fetus is, at law, a legal person and must be treated accordingly. This develops the suggestion made by Haberfield that such a fetus is "analogous" to a child, and has consequences for abortion practitioners, and for fetal tissue transplantation and experimentation. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Law and Medicine, 4(4), p. 373-378 | Publisher: | Lawbook Co | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1320-159X | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 180199 Law not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 940499 Justice and the Law not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.thomsonreuters.com.au/catalogue/productdetails.asp?id=965 |
