THE LOWER LIMIT OF THE RIGHT TO LIFE OF THE PERSON IN THE LIGHT OF THE NEW CRIMINAL CODE
Journal Title: Challenges of the Knowledge Society - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
The right to life is one of the fundamental human rights both nationally and internationally, being provided and guaranteed by a series of legal acts. In the Romanian law, the right to life of the person as guaranteed by the article 22 paragraph (1) of the Constitution is also protected by criminal law. In judicial practice in this matter there was an important and interesting issue regarding the limits of the right to life of people or accurately determining the starting and ending of a person’s life. On this aspect, there were several points of view in the law literature, each grounded on its own way. In the current criminal law, the two aspects that I have mentioned above are linked, on the one hand, for instance to the issue of the legal classification of the fetal injury during birth until the cut of the umbilical cord and, on the other hand, to the thesis of tissue and organs for transplantation. The new Criminal Code is inspired by the European legislation. In relation to the criminal offences against the person it brings news to us by introducing a new offence, namely fetal injury, referred to in the article 202. Analyzing the legal content of this offence it is impossible not to call into question the situation of the lower limit of the right to life of the person.
