Abstract

Important steps have been made in Colombia regarding the approach to and handling of fetuses, embryos and the newborn born dead; however, there is still a need for making existing standards and concepts more widely known and implementing those which are lacking. Greater clarity is needed concerning the pertinent concepts since the legal implications of certifying a child born alive are very significant for patients, families, institutions and society. The present document was aimed at reflecting on the relevant medical and legal aspects concerning the topic.
