 Humans acquire legal capacity from the moment they are conceived in the womb, provided they are born fully formed and healthy. Since the legislator specifically states "born fully formed and healthy," it is possible to say that the fetus in the womb does not yet have rights. This distinction is encountered in health law. For example, if a mother loses her baby due to medical malpractice during childbirth, only the mother has a claim. This is because the fetus, not yet fully formed and healthy, does not have the capacity to exercise its rights. Legal capacity is a type of capacity that cannot be relinquished by law. In short, it refers to the acquisition of legal rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
