No a fetus is not a baby or a child. It's living on the woman's body and can not live on it's own and therefor is for her to decide over. A child is it's own person and can live on it's own outside of her body.

When is a fetus considered a person with rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

Everyone has a different opinion on this. Some people consider a fetus to be a baby from the moment of conception. Others consider the fetus to be a baby roughly 10 days after conception at implantation, where the fertilised egg implants in the lining of the womb. Other consider the fetus to be a baby at around 6 weeks, when there is a visible heart beat. Some consider the fetus to be a baby at around 16 weeks when you can start to feel the first movements. Others don't consider the fetus to be a baby until the abortion time limit has passed, so around 20-24 weeks. Some only consider the fetus to be a baby once he or she is born. All of the above information is correct but leaves out one crucial medical fact. Which is that of the stages of Human Development. So, in terms of human development an embryo is not a fetus, like a fetus is not a baby, like a baby is not a toddler, like a toddler is not a young adult... etc. Basically if you find the definition of Embryo it is: a developing human from conception to 8 weeks. The definition of Fetus is: a developing human from 8 weeks to birth. Then you enter the neonate, infant, toddler, play age...etc.etc. stages. Those are the Stages Of Human Development. So... when Pro-choice advocates say, "it's not a baby!" They actually are correct. And when Anti-abortion advocates say, "you are killing a developing human being" They are actually correct as well. The unborn humans are in their own stages of human development. And, the fetus is not a baby yet... just like a baby is not a toddler yet... but all humans are in their own stages of human development. Therefore, I will add this: currently, it is legal to end the life of the developing human when they are in pre-viable developmental stages in utero.


Does the custodial parent or non-custodial parent have to carry health insurance on the child in Indiana?

Only if the venue that issues the child support order requires it. But, it should be noted that with the attention being paid the health coverage, this will like change. Most states are now requiring it. In Missouri, the obligor parent must carry it on top of the regular child support payment.


If a man signs over his rights to a child that is his Will he still have to pay child support in the state of Missouri?

Can the biological mother sign over parental rights to biological father?

Any time a parent releases custodial rights it must be done through the Family Court. If this other man is the child's step parent then Dad can voluntarily terminate his parental rights through the court and then step dad can adopt the child. But Dad can't just sign his rights over to any other man. Legal guardianship of children must be accomplished by court order.


Can you adopt your child back after you gave her up for adoption?

That's not true at all whoever answered this!!! its different in every state.............some states have laws where the biological parent has a period to take their child back like 1 yr or 2 after adoption then its confirmed ( like Massu adopt a child thru the court the biological can take their child anytime up to 1 after the court date....some states (like u said) say once the baby is adopted thru the court its over and their child.......and some states leave it completley open....3 states hold that law but each state has its own law..........AnswerThat's not possible. Once the biological parent has relinquished their rights to a child or the court has terminated those rights and the child has been adopted it is permanent.The only option would be if the adoptive parents voluntarily relinquished their parental rights and the court allowed the child to be placed in the biological mother's custody an action which is highly unlikely.Other than that the child would have to wait until he or she reached the age of majority and could then make their own decision.Emancipation of the minor would not be an option as the court would not grant an emancipation decree based on such circumstances.

In washington.If you give up your rights to your child do you have to pay child support?

There are two different factors here. Parental rights are things like visitation and the right to have a say in how the child is raised. You can give those up. Parental responsibilities are things like ensuring that the child is fed, sheltered, and receives adequate medical care. You cannot give those up. So, yes, if you give up your rights to the child, you may still have to pay child support.

Can a woman carry a baby to term if her uterus is gone?

No, a woman cannot carry a baby to term if her uterus is gone, as the uterus is essential for housing and supporting the development of the fetus during pregnancy. Without a uterus, there is no structure to facilitate implantation of the embryo or sustain a pregnancy. In cases where a woman has had a hysterectomy, assisted reproductive technologies, like gestational surrogacy, may be an option for having a child.

Absolutely not! The vagina "plumbing" is completely separate from the intestinal "plumbing". That would be like asking if a woman can carry a fetus in her stomach instead of in her uterus.
