Abstract

The new Civil Registry Act has reformed article 30 of the Civil Code concerning the conditions that must be met at birth in order for a child to qualify for legal personality. The new requirements focus on the need to be born (i.e., the need for the foetus to be completely detached from the mother's womb) and to be alive. The requirements of having a human shape and viability or 24 hours of sustained life are eliminated.
