Massachusetts High Court Rules Fetus Is a Person in Wrongful Death Case
In a 4 to 3 decision the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that an unborn but viable fetus is a person for purposes of the state's wrongful death law. The ruling stems from a 1974 South Boston collision involving a Greyhound bus and a car carrying Dennis and Janice Brelsford, where an 8½ month fetus was found dead and Mrs. Brelsford died after delivery and surgery. Justice Tauro wrote for the majority, aligning state law with prevailing standards, while Justice Braucher dissented. The decision notes that it does not determine when viability begins.
