Spes animantis. La protección del feto en el Derecho romano clásico
Abstract
The rights that could be recognized to the unborn child in the classical Roman law were intended not to defend the fetus considered itself in the womb, but rather they were related to other areas, like defense of parental authority of the father or the legitimate hereditary interests. This situation changed in the Justinian law, and mediating the progressive and growing influence of Christianism in the field of law, is thought as defense of the unborn child.
