重症新生儿的民事权利能力始期

THE BEGINNING OF CAPACITY FOR CIVIL RIGHTS FOR NEW BORN BABIES WITH SERIOUS DISEASES

重症新生儿的出生伴随着生命体征的缺失,使得人们在判断其生死,是否赋予民事权利能力时存在矛盾与困惑。分析比较民法学界存在的民事权利能力的起始时间的不同学说,结合现代医学的发展,尊重现代文明的价值观、人权理念、伦理道德,我国法律在认定重症新生儿民事权利能力始期时应依据"生命体征说"为宜,给予重症新生儿民事权利以稳固的保障。

The absence of vital signs of new born babies with serious diseases on birth makes it perplex to decide whether they are alive or dead and whether they have capacity for civil rights.Civil law researchers hold different opinions about the beginning time of new born babies.Out of respect to human right and ethics and morality,Chinese law decides that the beginning time of new born babies' capacity for civil rights depends on 'vital signs',which guarantee civil rights of new born babies with serious diseases.
