It compares recent developments in English law in the light of the Human Rights Act 1998, with those in America, which has seen an enormous growth in litigation over the last two decades. In England and Wales, the 'born alive rule' is currently applied only to third parties who injure the fetus, which is later born alive and dies as a result of these injuries. In some American states, a rule of similar origins has been extended so as to criminalize recent mothers whose acts or omissions in pregnancy caused injury or death to the resulting child. The author examines the implications of the laws in both systems, and also looks at the rights of the mother and child in relation to the obligations of the state to protect both of them."--Provided by publisher.Pregnant womenLegal status, laws, etcEnglandCriminal provisionsPregnant womenLegal status, laws, etcWalesCriminal provisionsPregnant womenLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesCriminal provisionsFetusLegal status, laws, etcEnglandCriminal provisionsFetusLegal status, laws, etcWalesCriminal provisionsFetusLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesCriminal provisionsPregnant womenLegal status, laws, etc.Criminal provisions.Pregnant womenLegal status, laws, etc.Criminal provisions.Pregnant womenLegal status, laws, etc.Criminal provisions.FetusLegal status, laws, etc.Criminal provisions.FetusLegal status, laws, etc.Criminal provisions.FetusLegal status, laws, etc.Criminal provisions.345.4202 Cave Emma1487160FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910796600103321The Mother of All Crimes3706896UNINA
