Actually in my country if a fetus was a person legally they would have the right, since parents have the duty to provide for their children and not endanger their lives. But this is if the law considered a fetus a human person.
No, they wouldn't have that right: even if that child is dying, the parents are not forced to give up their bodies in service of that child. If the child needs an organ, the parent is not obligated to give one of theirs up. Hell, all you really need to do is age up the child but keep the situation the same:are you saying that in your country, if a two year old child needed to be hooked up to another person, day and night, in order to sustain its life, the mother would be compelled by the government to undergo that procedure against her will?
