Syftet med denna studie har varit att utifrån perspektiv på gräsrotsbyråkrati skapa en djupare förståelse för socialsekreterares upplevelser av att arbeta till skydd för det ofödda barnet när mamma missbrukar under graviditeten. För att uppnå studiens syfte har kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med socialsekreterare genomförts. Det empiriska materialet har med tematisk analys analyserats utifrån Lipskys (1980) teori om gräsrotsbyråkrati samt handlingsutrymme och studien har på så vis genererat en djupare förståelse för socialsekreterarnas upplevelser. Studien har behandlat avsaknaden av riktlinjer och lagstöd, slitningen mellan organisationens ramar och de moraliska värderingarna, samt socialsekreterarnas upplevelse av sitt handlingsutrymme. Resultatet visar att det råder en brist på riktlinjer och rutiner för att hantera dessa ärenden, och att socialsekreterarna upplever en avsaknad av lagstöd för att ingripa till skydd för det ofödda barnet när insatser på frivillig väg inte är möjliga, vilket även resulterar i att deras handlingsutrymme blir begränsat eller obefintligt. Detta medför att socialsekreterarna många gånger tvingas välja mellan att gå emot sina moraliska värderingar eller hitta sätt att kringgå lagen. Vidare påvisar studien att socialsekreterarna upplever ansvar för det ofödda barnet trots att de enligt organisationens ramverk egentligen inte har ett ansvar för denne. Att inte kunna agera till skydd för det ofödda barnet, i kombination med omvärldens förväntningar på socialsekreteraren, skapar en stark känsla av frustration. Våra resultat visar därför på ett behov av riktlinjer och rutiner för hur socialsekreterare ska arbeta med det ofödda barnet när mamma missbrukar under graviditeten. Emellertid täcker vår studie bara en liten del av socialsekreterares upplevelser av att arbeta till skydd för det ofödda barnet, varför det finns behov av vidare forskning inom området. Möjligen skulle förståelsen för deras upplevelser berikas av att belysas ur andra perspektiv, såsom makt och etik.

in the English language Title: A theoretical conception of liability for harm caused by the birth of a man In many legal orders a new types of legal actions have appeared (in relation to the development of new methods of diagnosing congenital diseases). In these types of legal actions the claimant seeks damages for the negligence of the doctor in performing these tests. These claims are referred to as "wrongful birth", "wrongful conception", and "wrongful abortion". The "wrongful life" claim is most commonly used in a situation where while performing prenatal screening the doctor does not diagnose the existing congenital disease and therefore fails to give the parents an essential piece of information, which might have made the parents decide to abort the fetus. The claimant in this case is the child itself, who substantiates the claim by arguing it should have never been born. The "wrongful birth" claim arises from the same situation, but the claimants are the parents of the child. They claim damages for the emotional pain and increased expences related to giving birth and raising a disabled child. In the case of the "wrongful conception" claim, the most common reason for using this action is a negligently performed sterilization procedure. The "wrongful abortion" claim can be used in a situation...

Pois bem, com a revolução tecnocientífica restou possível verificar a existência, durante a gestação, de fetos portadores de anencefalia. O problema é estabelecerse o aborto (antecipação do parto), quando diagnosticado feto anencéfalo, fere ou não a dignidade humana. Na atualidade, destaca-se no Supremo Tribunal Federal a discussão sobre o assunto na Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental 54-8 – proposta pela Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores na Saúde – a qual busca consolidar que antecipação terapêutica do parto de feto anencéfalo não é aborto sob o manto da inviabilidade, apontando o fato da gestante sofrer tortura psicológica, além da liberdade pessoal dos profissionais da saúde nesses casos. Não obstante, a pesquisa pretende buscar uma resposta sob o prisma constitucional, à luz da dignidade da pessoa humana. O embasamento teórico será o de obras no ramo da bioética, sobretudo de matriz teórica kantiana, como intuito de aceitar o ser humano como uma realidade moral. Será abordado sob o prisma moral, filosófico e jurídico acerca da dignidade humana, com ênfase nos valores sociais da sociedade contemporânea, mapeando, ainda, sobre o início da vida humana, aquisição dos direitos da personalidade, as fases do desenvolvimento do embrião humano, por fim verificando o direito a vida. / Recent advances in biotechnology have made a strong impact on different areas of knowledge, boosting the inquiry regarding the ethical limits to be respected, giving rise to Bioethics, a designation that was generalized as a comprehensive of all phenomena related to the consequences of these advances, even if observed in different fields. Well, with the techno-scientific revolution it remained possible to verify the existence of carrying embryos anencephaly during pregnancy. The problem is to establish whether abortion (earlier delivery) when diagnosed anencephalic fetus, hurts or not human dignity. Currently, there is the Supreme Court discussion on the subject of the Arguing of 54-8 Violation of Fundamental Precept - proposed by the National Confederation of Workers in Health - whichseeks to consolidate the therapeutic delivery anticipation of anencephalic fetus is not abortion under the cloak of unfeasibility, pointing to the fact of the pregnant woman suffering psychological torture, beyond the personal freedom of health professionals in these cases. Nevertheless, the research intends to seek a response under constitutional perspective according the principles of human dignity. The theoretical foundation will be works in the field of bioethics, especially kantian theoretical framework, in order to accept the human being as a moral reality. Will be addressed through the moral, philosophical and legal perspective concerning human dignity, with emphasis on social values of contemporary society, mapping, about the beginning of human life, acquisition of personality rights, the development phases of the human embryo, finally verifying the right to life.

Thesis (L.L.M.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, School of Law, 2014. / The non-consensual destruction of a nasciturus is a disturbing societal phenomenon that negatively permeates the lived realities of pregnant women with positive maternal intention. These women choose to experience a full term gestation and they choose to give birth to a live and healthy infant. At some point during their gestation they are non-consensually deprived of their choices through active third party violence by commission or passive third party negligence by omission. These women have no legal recourse for their loss, because in South African law, the non-consensual destruction of a nasciturus is not a crime. The nasciturus is not recognised as a victim separate from the pregnant woman despite the manner in which the pregnant woman freely chooses to interpret her pregnancy. The consensual destruction of a nasciturus enjoys legal protection in South African law by virtue of the provisions contained in the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act 92 of 1996. The choice to terminate a pregnancy is therefore legally recognised in South African law, whereas the choice to continue a pregnancy is not legally recognised. Argument is advanced in this dissertation for the legal recognition of the choice to continue a pregnancy by criminalising non-consensual nascitural destruction through the creation of a Choice on Continuation of Pregnancy Act. Non-Consensual nascitural destruction occurs as a result of violence against pregnant women as well as in situations of medical negligence. Empirical data is provided to demonstrate how non-consensual nascitural destruction can occur in medical settings where negligence is suspected. The inherent human need to safeguard and protect the nasciturus has been in existence since time immemorial. Despite this need, in South African law, legal subjectivity, and the ability to be recognised as a separate victim of crime, remain contingent upon a live birth. Evidence suggests that the requirement of live birth in law developed as an evidentiary mechanism and not as a substantive rule of law. Its relevance in circumstances of non-consensual nascitural destruction is doubtful at best. The law in South Africa has failed to take cognisance of the psychosomatic dimensions of personhood and argument is advanced in favour of a nuanced and constitutionally sensitive approach to matters of moral as well as legal personhood. Authentic female autonomy and reproductive freedom requires a re-evaluation of the paradigms that surround nascitural safeguarding and protection, and a transformative approach to constitutional interpretation. The establishment of a legislative scheme to criminalise the nonconsensual destruction of a nasciturus is proposed. Within this legislative scheme certain precautions and fortifications are suggested in order to avoid any potential erosion of the rights of pregnant women who have negative maternal intention. It is demonstrated that it is in fact possible for pregnant women with positive maternal intention and pregnant women with negative maternal intention to both enjoy legal protection without encroaching upon one another’s constitutional rights to reproductive freedom, bodily autonomy and privacy. It is contended that achieving the aforementioned is the final barrier to authentic female reproductive freedom in South Africa.

The subject matter involving this right to life originates of the respect to dignity of the human person value, which runs the principle of human life, inserted in the Federal Constitution, but also incorporated by the international conventions that the Brazil is signatary, and that influences all the brazilian juridic ordenament. As the right is coherence and uniformity, it presents that the protection of the right to life of the unborn happens as much by the civilistic optic like with the right to support recognized by doctrine and jurisprudence, and with the heatlhy development of the pregnancy, product of the total protection doctrine , as by the penal optic, with the tipification of the offense of the abortion. This protection happens even though the seed of relativization of this right to life, like in the judgment of the constitutionality of using human embryo as a source of steam cell, by divergent interpretations of legal texts, or by the appeal for the legalization of the eugenic abortion / O presente trabalho objetiva demonstrar que, no direito brasileiro, o nascituro é pessoa humana desde a concepção, possuindo direitos decorrentes de sua personalidade, sendo que o mais importante é o fundamental direito à vida. A temática envolvendo este direito à vida se origina do valor da dignidade da pessoa humana, do qual decorre o princípio do respeito à vida humana, inserido na Constituição Federal, mas também assimilado dos tratados internacionais que o Brasil é signatário, e que influencia todo o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Como o direito é coerência e uniformidade, demonstra-se que a proteção ao direito à vida do nascituro ocorre tanto sob a ótica civilista como com o direito aos alimentos reconhecido pela doutrina e jurisprudência, e com o desenvolvimento sadio na gravidez, produto da doutrina da proteção integral , quanto sob a ótica penal, com a tipificação do delito de aborto. Essa proteção existe mesmo frente à semente de relativização deste direito à vida, como no julgamento da constitucionalidade do uso de embriões humanos como fonte de células-tronco, por interpretações divergentes dos textos legais, ou pelo apelo para a legalização do aborto eugênico

The subject studied in this academic research seeks to know whether this argument - that the abortion legalization is a necessary measure to address a public health problem - resists a more accurate and rational analysis, even if legal abortion could be upheld by Brazilian legal system. This paper seeks to investigate some hypothesis: 1st - Legalizing abortion is a necessary or proper to reduce the high rate of maternal mortality in Brazil and perfectly compatible with our legal system; 2nd - Legalizing abortion is a necessary or proper to reduce the high rate of maternal mortality in Brazil, however, it have no support in the Brazilian legal system, 3rd - Abortion legalization is no solution to reduce the maternal mortality rate in Brazil, but the Brazilian legal system have no obstacles to such an extent , 4th - The abortion legalization is not a solution to reduce the maternal mortality rate in Brazil and also finds no support in the Brazilian legal system. We analyzed the issue of abortion legalization in Brazil in a rational and objective way, studying Brazilian and also other countries legislation considering the subject. Furthermore, the findings obtained in this study are based on surveys and statistics compiled and disseminated by various institutions - public and private - as well as government agencies, including the Brazilian Health Ministry / O presente trabalho debate a polêmica questão da legalização do aborto no Brasil a partir da análise criteriosa do argumento de que esta seria uma medida necessária para solucionar um problema de saúde pública, qual seja: o alto índice de mortalidade materna ocasionado pela prática do aborto clandestino. A problemática estudada nesta pesquisa acadêmica busca saber se esse argumento - o de que a legalização do aborto é uma medida necessária para solucionar um problema de saúde pública resiste a uma análise mais apurada e racional e, ainda, se a legalização do aborto encontra amparo no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. As hipóteses que esse trabalho busca investigar são as seguintes: 1ª Legalizar o aborto é uma medida necessária ou adequada para reduzir o alto índice de mortalidade materna no Brasil e perfeitamente compatível com o nosso ordenamento jurídico; 2ª Legalizar o aborto é uma medida necessária ou adequada para reduzir o alto índice de mortalidade materna no Brasil, porém, não encontra amparo no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro; 3ª A legalização do aborto não é solução para reduzir o índice de mortalidade materna no Brasil, embora no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro não haja óbices para tal medida; 4ª A legalização do aborto não é solução para reduzir o índice de mortalidade materna no Brasil e também não encontra amparo no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Procuramos analisar a questão da legalização do aborto no Brasil de modo racional e objetivo, estudando a legislação brasileira acerca do assunto e também a legislação de outros países. Além disso, as conclusões obtidas neste trabalho se baseiam pesquisas e estatísticas elaboradas e divulgadas por diversas instituições pública e privadas - bem como por órgãos governamentais, dentre eles o Ministério da Saúde do Brasil

Bakgrunden till studien grundar sig i tidigare forskning som har påvisat att det är skillnad i hälsa mellan kvinnor och män. Vad skillnaden beror på är svår att fastställa och det diskuteras kring om det är det biologiska könet, det som individer föds till eller om det är det sociala könet, det som individer formas till genom kulturen. Det har påvisats att ett barns identitet kan formas tidigt, en så kallad socialisering och tidigare studier visar på olika grader av föräldrars påverkan kring barns socialisering. Syftet var att undersöka blivande föräldrars attityder till att ta reda på det ofödda barnets kön. Metoden som användes var enkätundersökning med både öppna och slutna frågor och därefter gjordes en statistisk analys, totalt var det 241 blivande föräldrar från hela Sverige som deltog i studien. Resultatet påvisar att 75% av deltagarna skulle eller hade tagit reda på det ofödda barnets kön. Den främsta anledningen till att ta reda på könet var för att kunna förbereda inför barnets ankomst. Konklusionen av denna studie visar på att det inte går att dra några slutsatser kring om barnets framtida hälsa påverkas negativt av att blivande föräldrar tar reda på det ofödda barnets kön, samtidigt finns det vetskap om att föräldrars attityd till genus har en verkan på barnet. För ett större djup till förståelse för vilka faktorer som bidrar till viljan att ta reda på barnets kön och om det kan ha en inverkan på barnet, behövs vidare forskning inom området. / The background to this study is based on former research that has found that there is a difference in health between women and men. What this difference depends on is hard to determine and there is a discussion around if it’s the biological sex, what individuals are born to or if it’s the social sex, what individuals are shaped into by the culture. It has been found that a child’s identity can be shaped early, a type of socialization and former research shows different intensity on parents impact on children’s socialization. The purpose was to examined future parents attitudes to find out the unborn child’s sex. The method that was used was a questionnaire with both open and closed questions and then was a statistic analyze made, a total of 241 future parents from Sweden participated in the study. The result found that 75% of the participant wanted to find out the unborn child’s sex. The main reason to find out the sex was to prepare before the child’s arrival. The conclusion of this study shows that it’s not possible to make a conclusion about the unborn child’s future health can have a negative affect because the future parents finds out the unborn child’s sex, at the same time there is knowledge about that parents attitude to gender has an effect on the child. For a greater depth to understanding of which factors that impact to the will of finding out the child’s sex and if it can have an impact on the child, are there a need of further research in the field.

未岀生胎兒的生命尊嚴長期被在公領域被乎略。本研究以質性之焦點團體訪談法，分別在臺灣與新加坡進行24個焦點團體進行訪談。其中包括12個沒有信仰者的團體與12個有信仰者的團體，探索其對未岀生胎兒生命尊嚴的看法，以及臺灣與新加坡如何在聯合國、美國、新馬爾薩斯人口學家、優生學家與國際計畫家庭組織（International Planned Parenthood Federation，IPPF)所推動的家庭計畫，因追求經濟成長而選擇人口零成長的政策，導致未岀生胎兒的生命尊嚴更行惡化。 / The human dignity of the unborn child remains uncertain in public policy domain. The importance of rethinking public reasonableness becomes unavoidable in the stage of late capitalism and liberal democracy. Political power, knowledge, and participation are three key elements of policymaking. The human dignity of the unborn child is neglected in the process of policymaking of population politics. There are advocators, United Nations, United States, eugenicists, neo-Malthusians and International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) in the process of population policymaking at the international level during the past three decades. This research first attempts to focus on the inter relationship among these five advocators and to review how the unborn child becomes missing within the process of international population policymaking. Secondly, Taiwan and Singapore are two test cases to reveal the policy follower roles who adopt the similar dream of modern states. Thirdly, since the personal religious beliefs play a significant role not only in shaping attitudes, but also in economic development, political stability, sexual morality and gender equality. This research adopts qualitative approach the focus group interview to compare the attitude of human dignity of the unborn child between the faith-based people with non-faith people both in Taiwan and Singapore. In this research 24 focus groups will be organized across Taiwan and Singapore, each country contains 12 groups. Each country contains 6 faith-based focus groups and 6 non-faith focus groups. Attempt to find the difference and similarity of population policy between Taiwan and Singapore and to explore how the religious values and the concept of human dignity of the unborn child excluded in the process of demographic policymaking.
