Toutefois, les tribunaux fixent le début de l'existence à la naissance de l'enfant, dans la mesure où l'enfant naît vivant et viable. [...] La condition de naissance vivante sera considérée parfaite si l'être humain a respiré complètement, s'il a la capacité d'avoir une vie autonome de celle de sa mère, ce qui n'exclut pas qu'il puisse requérir des soins médicaux. Quant à la condition de viabilité, elle fait appel à son potentiel de survivre. Ce potentiel se détermine par expertise médicale. 1, record 1, French, - vivant%20et%20viable
