Viraj Kumar, Third Year B.B.A LL.B.(H.) Student, Chanakya National Law University

In delving into the subject of the “Status of Unborn Child” we shall attempt to unravel the complex legal dimensions surrounding the rights and standing of unborn children in the current world, in the belief of the evolving nature of societal attitudes, medical advancements, and cultural influences that have shaped historical perspectives of the unborn.  In today world, there is the presence of increasingly challenging issues in such areas as reproductive rights, medical technologies, and the rights of the unborn. In this backdrop, there is a growing need to understand the principles in jurisprudence that underlie the legal frameworks surrounding unborn children.

Looking back through history, we can see how societal changes, advances in medicine, and changes in cultural norms have had a profound effect on the way in which the law refers to and deals with the rights of unborn children today. The basis for this project comes from the recognition of gaps in existing legal systems and a compelling need for a nuanced analysis that explores the rights and interests of both the expectant mother and the unborn, hence we delve into various jurisprudential theories in our pursuit of shedding light on the philosophical, ethical, and cultural dimensions that inform legal decisions concerning unborn children. Through case law, legislative provisions, and international perspectives, the research will contribute to a current discourse on reproductive rights that seeks to provide a theoretical foundation enhancing our understanding of the status of unborn children within a broader context of jurisprudence, with the ultimate view that this research will help formulate more informed and equitable legal frameworks ensuring a balanced and just approach to the rights of the unborn.
