Abstract
"The Chilean Civil Code refers to the unborn creature in the mother’s womb as “that which is to be born”, but which has not yet seen the light of day; it understands “birth” as the complete separation of aforementioned creature from its mother, as long as it manages to survive the separation at least for a moment, and refers to natural persons as all those individuals of the human race that have been born (1). Consequently “that which is to be born” is not a person until it is born. In this way the Code establishes a rather curious distinction between an individual of the human species on the one hand, and a “person” on the other. Current doctrinal debate, which sometimes has become quite passionate for ideological reasons, has particularly hinged on the determination of the moment when “that which is to be born” begins, with some upholding the conception thesis, while others affirm the idea of the implanting in the uterine wall, with the rest defending the idea of the beginning of brain activity (2). We will not linger on this debate, but we do believe it interesting to point out that from that moment which is under debate in terms of doctrine, in which “that which is to be born” begins, and up to the very moment of birth, the embryo or foetus is not recognised as a person by Chilean Law, notwithstanding the fact that there are laws that do protect it in several ways. This circumstance leads us to the conclusion that “that which is to be born” is subject to laws, even though it lacks the quality of a person (3)" ["El Código Civil de Chile se refiere a los no nacidos criatura en el vientre de la madre como "que que es a nacer ", pero que aún no tiene visto la luz del día; entiende "nacimiento", como la separación completa de mencionada criatura de su madre, siempre y cuando se las arregla para sobrevivir a la separación al menos por un momento, y se refiere a las personas físicas como todos aquellos individuos de la raza humana que tienen nacido (1). En consecuencia "lo que es nacer "no es una persona hasta que nace. En De esta manera el Código establece una bastante curiosa distinción entre un individuo de la especie humana, por un lado, y una "persona" en el otro. Debate doctrinal actual, que a veces se ha hecho bastante apasionada por razones ideológicas, tiene particular con bisagras en la determinación del momento cuando "lo que va a nacer" comienza, con algunos la defensa de la tesis de la concepción, mientras que otros afirman la idea de la implantación en la pared del útero, con el resto de la defensa idea del inicio de la actividad del cerebro (2). No vamos a persistir en este debate, pero sí creemos interesante señalar que a partir de ese momento que es objeto de debate en términos de la doctrina, en la que "lo que es ser nacido ", comienza, y hasta el mismo momento de nacimiento, el embrión o el feto no se reconoce como una persona por la Ley chilena, a pesar de el hecho de que hay leyes que lo protegen de varias maneras. Esta circunstancia nos lleva a la conclusión de que "lo que es ser nacido "está sujeta a las leyes, a pesar de que le falta la calidad de una persona (3)"]
