摘要

本文分析了尼泊尔法律和比较常见法规赋予胎儿的法律权利和保护。文章还分析了尼泊尔的堕胎法,该法旨在兼顾寻求堕胎的妇女的需求和对晚期胎儿的有限保护。文章考虑了 "Lakshmi Dhikta 诉尼泊尔政府 "一案,该案认为堕胎是宪法规定的一项权利。然而,这项权利仍然存在障碍,尤其是在弱势妇女中。在全球范围内,主张胎儿权利的人与将妇女自主权放在首位的人之间的争论仍在继续。一些国家赋予胎儿有限的法律权利,而另一些国家则赋予胎儿人格权。因此,讨论产前伤害、选择性别的人工流产以及母体和胎儿利益之间可能存在的冲突等伦理问题是很有意义的。多层面的法律应规范孕产妇健康、胎儿利益和歧视问题,同时确保堕胎的可行性和可负担性。

The legal rights of the fetus: Nepali perspective.

This article provides an analysis of the legal rights and protection accorded to fetuses under the Nepali law and the comparative common statues. It also analyses the abortion law in Nepal, which aims to balance the needs of women seeking abortion with limited protections for late-term fetuses. The article considers the case, "Lakshmi Dhikta v. the Government of Nepal," which held that access to abortion was a constitutionally formed right. However, barriers to this right still exist, especially among disadvantaged women. Globally, the debate continues between those who advocate for the rights of the fetus and those who put the autonomy of the women first. While some countries grant the fetus limited legal rights, others grant the fetus personhood rights. It is therefore pertinent to discuss the ethics of prenatal harm, sex-selective abortion, and the possible conflict between maternal and fetal interests. The multifaceted law should regulate maternal health, the interest of the fetus, and discrimination while ensuring feasible and affordable abortion.
