1 USC 8: PERSON, HUMAN BEING, CHILD, AND INDIVIDUAL AS INCLUDING BORN-ALIVE INFANT

Text contains those laws in effect on February 27, 2014
 
From Title 1-GENERAL PROVISIONS CHAPTER 1-RULES OF CONSTRUCTION



§8. “Person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual” as including born-alive infant


(a) In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the words “person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual”, shall include every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.

Judges will use this to rule against people in court, when the truth is that "death" occurs when the baby is registered.


(b) As used in this section, the term “born alive”, with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.


(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being “born alive” as defined in this section.

You are alive until you contract yourself into servitude? Or is it the play on words, a-live, as opposed to live, or life, or living, existance, being et al?

It certainly looks like word magic designed to paint a picture that a person isn't dead. 

Is a person a PERSON? 

Who gets to decide if you are presently living or dead? The law? Politicians?


(Added Pub. L. 107–207, §2(a), Aug. 5, 2002, 116 Stat. 926.)
