Legal Analysis
Foetal death: Fetal death is the death of a product of conception, before its expulsion or its complete removal from its mother's body, regardless of the duration of the pregnancy; death is indicated by the
fact that after the separation, the fetus does not breathe or give any other signs of life, such as heartbeats, umbilical cord pulsations, or effective movements of voluntary contraction muscles.
