Abstract
The paper focuses on situations in which a consent to medical treatment is given or refused with
regards medical procedures o f perinatologie nature, where the subject who has got the right to grant
such a consent, is a pregnant woman, even i f the medical treatment shall not only be applied to her
body, but shall often serve to save the life o f the unborn baby. In the light o f the present legal
regulations, a fetus is not an independent patient. It only becomes one when a pregnant woman
registers as a patient. A fetus as a patient, regardless of how invasive the surgery is, and what
purposes it serves, is not the subject of medical treatment.
