The Juridical Status Of The Fetus: A Proposal For Legal Protection Of The Unborn, Patricia A. King Aug 1979

The Juridical Status Of The Fetus: A Proposal For Legal Protection Of The Unborn, Patricia A. King

Michigan Law Review

What claims to protection can be asserted by a human fetus? That question, familiar to philosophy and religion, has long haunted law as well.

Michigan Law Review
