EX #1:
Doctor = is referred to as the physician & can legally kill the baby...
Baby = is referred to as the "fetus" & considered part of the woman's body...
Mother = mother & child are viewed as one individual under the law in this example, thus it is the mother's choice what to do with "her body"...
EX #2:
Killer = is referred to as the perpetrator & can be put on trial for murder...
Baby = is referred to as the victim of a crime...
Mother = mother & child are viewed as two separate individuals under the law in this example, thus constitutes TWO murder charges...
What is the difference in the role of the baby in the two examples?
Why is the death of a baby in one scenario murder & not in the other?
