The recent murder of a pregnant Toronto woman resulting in the death of her unborn child has rekindled debate on whether a fetus should be recognized as a person.
Turan Cocelli, 29, was charged on Tuesday with killing his 25-year-old wife, Aysun Sesen, but no charges were laid in the death of the seven-month-old fetus.
Ms. Sesen had an emergency Cesarean section when she was rushed to hospital, but the child was stillborn.
Under the Criminal Code, a child is only considered a human being when it has emerged from the mother's body alive.
To: The Government of Canada
We wish to pass a law that creates a criminal offence for an unborn baby killed by a violent act against his/her mother in Canada.
With such private member bills such as C484 being read in the house of commons,
We are hopeful that in a short time we can see an amendment to the criminal code.
And murder charges laid for anyone who causes the death of a unborn child.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
