Abstract     Uvod Opredelitev pravnega razmerja med nosečo žensko in fetusom z vidika pravice do samooodločanja in načela materine imunitete. Metode Raziskava je temeljila na študiju in analizi relevatne domače in tuje znanstvene literature, pravnih virov in izbranih sodnih primerov. Rezultati Fetus (praviloma) danes v času nosečnosti nima priznane pravne subjektivitete. Pravna sposobnost se pridobi v trenutku rojstva, zaradi česar je daba prednost odločitvam nosečnice, ne glede ali z njimi škoduje zdravju ali celo življenju svojega bodočega otroka. Diskusija in zaključek Mati ni odgovorna za škodo, ki jo povzroči svojemu otroku s svojim malomarnim vedenjem v času nosečnosti (npr. z uporabo drog ali alkohola). Država (RS) ne more odrediti mandatornega carskega rezu ali transfuzije krvi z namenom, da se prepreči potencialna škoda za fetusa. Če je noseča ženska popolnoma obveščena in razsodna, je treba njene odločitve, ki jih sprejme na podlagi načela avtonomije, spoštovati.Introduction The definition of the legal relationship between a pregnant woman and a fetus from the perspective of the right to self-determination and the principle of maternal immunity. Methods The completed research was based on the study and analysis of relevant domestic and foreign scientific literature, legal sources and selected court cases. Results: A fetus today (as a rule) does not have a recognised legal personality during the pregnancy. The latter will be acquired at the moment of birth; therefore, the priority is given to decisions made by the pregnant woman, regardless of whether her decisions may harm the health or even the life of her future child. Discussion and conclusion A mother is not responsible for damage caused by her negligent conduct to her child during the pregnancy (e.g. due to consumption of drugs or alcohol). The state (RS) may not order, for example, a mandatory C-section or a blood transfusion with the aim to prevent potential harm to a fetus. If a pregnant woman is fully informed and sound of mind, her decisions, adopted on the basis of the principle of autonomy, should be respected.
