胎儿利益的民事保护

On Civil Protection of Embryo's Interest

传统民法理论认为,胎儿是母体的一部分而不是独立的个体,所以胎儿不能作为权利义务的主体。但是,这一传统理论有时会危及胎儿及其出生、长大后的合法权益。鉴于此,各国对胎儿权益进行了一定的保护。相比之下,我国大陆地区的民事立法对胎儿权益的保护则显得比较滞后。在《民法典》制定之际,应对胎儿利益的保护进行更多的研究,以期完善立法,更好地维护胎儿的利益。

According to traditional civil law, embryo is a part of mother and not an independent unity, and the embryo could not be the main body. With the development of society, this theory would endanger the embryo and the legal interest of the baby. To solve the problem, many countries have carried out the protection of the embryo＇s interest. In contrast, Chinese civil law lags behind. Now we are making ＂Corpus of Civil Law＂, we should do more research on this to perfect the legislation and protect the embryo＇s interest.
