CAESARIAN OPERATION, med. juris. An incision made through the
parietes of the abdomen and uterus to extract the foetus. It is said
that Julius Caesar was born in this manner. When the child is cut out
after the death of the mother, his coming into being in this way confers
on other persons none of the rights to which they would have been
entitled if he had been born, in the usual course of nature, during her
life. For example, his father would not be tenant by the curtesy; for to
create that title, it ought to begin by the birth of issue arive, and
be consummated by the death of the wife. 8 Co. Rep. 35; 2 Bl. Com. 128
Co. Litt. 29 b.; 1 Beck's Med. Jur. 264 Coop. Med. Jur. 7; 1 Fodere,
Med. Leg. 334. The rule of the civil law on this subject will be found
in Dig. lib. 50, t. 16, 1. 132 et 141; lib. 5, t. 2, 1. 6; lib. 28, t.
2, 1. 12.
