论胎儿生命利益的刑法保护

On the Protection of Fetus' Life in Criminal Law

自然人包括生命权在内的各项基本权利始于出生,终于死亡。胎儿因缺乏主体资格,从被侵害法益的层面来看,无法成为刑事被害人。现行刑法对伤害胎儿的行为按故意伤害处理,这与行为的本质和行为人的主观故意内容均存在较大的出入。无论从胎儿被侵害的可能性、与母体的相对独立性、还是从刑法与其他部门法的协调性等角度出发,对侵害胎儿的生命利益的行为都有必要设置独立的罪名。

The right to life begins from child bearing, disappears on death. Unborn children are not people, but we shall protect them in order to cherish the life of human, The act of murdering unborn children is taken for the assault aimed at their mothers in our country today, which cannot protect unborn children adequately. It is necessary to regard the act of hurting unborn children as an individual crime.
