zabójstwem człowieka zabicie plodu.

> decision by the Cour de Cassation means it is impossible to be found

> car crash could not be tried for murder. The latest judgement overturns
> a verdict by a court in 2000 which found a doctor and midwife guilty of
> manslaughter for the death of a child during labour in a clinic in the
> Paris suburb of Chesnay in November 1991. The mother contended that the
> midwife failed to act when she alerted her to heart irregularities in
> the foetus on the eve of the expected birth, which was overdue. A day
> la! ter, the child was stillborn by Caesarean section, with lack of
> oxygen diagnosed as the cause of death. "The principle behind the
> legality of crimes and punishment, requiring a strict interpretation of
> penal law, is opposed to the possibility of trial for manslaughter in
> the case of a child not born alive," the Cour de Cassation ruled. The
> French are nominally Catholics, who believe life begins at conception,
> although France is a secular republic and has relatively liberal
