The Fosters say de Cholnoky also was negligent by not making sure Melanie Foster wasn't 妊娠している before trying to 除去する the 装置.

The doctor's lawyer, James Rosenblum, tried to get the 事例／患者 thrown out on the argument that wrongful death 訴訟s aren't 許すd in 事例／患者s 伴う／関わるing fetuses that weren't viable ― meaning they weren't developed enough to 生き残る outside the womb. He also 否定するd the doctor was negligent.
Rosenblum, who 拒絶する／低下するd to comment, 特記する／引用するd i n 法廷，裁判所 文書s the 1973 U.S. 最高裁判所 決定／判定勝ち（する） in 魚の卵 versus Wade, which 合法化するd abortion until a fetus is considered viable, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.

Kamp 公式文書，認めるd that 医療の 専門家s 雇うd by both the Fosters and de Cholnoky 示すd the fetus was born alive.
"Where the doctors 言及する to the birth of a baby, its life and 結局の death, one would 結論する that the baby was a person, and that person died," the 裁判官 wrote.
Kamp said the 明言する／公表する 最高裁判所 in 2010, in an 控訴，上告 by former （刑務所の）死刑囚棟 inmate Robert Courchesne, 示すd that the いわゆる "born alive 支配する" is the basic 基準 in both 犯罪の 殺人 and civil wrongful death 事例／患者s. The 最高裁判所 said 達成するing personhood depends on whether an 幼児 is born alive, Kamp said.
