CWN - January 24, 2013
A Catholic hospital in Colorado has argued in court that an unborn child should not be considered a ?person? for purposes of a wrongful-death lawsuit.
In the case of a woman who died of a heart attack while pregnant with twins, a lawyer for St. Thomas More hospital called the court?s attention to ?the long-standing rule in Colorado that the term ?person,? as it is used the Wrongful Death Act, encompasses only individuals born alive.? In the wrongful-death case, the plaintiff had argued that while the mother?s life could not have been saved, doctors should have intervened to save the unborn baby twins.
