According to Pavlova, Civil Law, General part, 2002, p. 236, the time of birth is when the embryo is separated from the mother’s body and it is necessary to be cut the cord blood and all of the actions required by the medical science to be done for a new legal person to occur. In order to have legal personality the child shall have breathed through his lungs and it doesn’t matter how long the new-born is alive.
