Milton v. Cary Medical Center.


 The Supreme Judicial Court of Maine ruled that a viable fetus is not a "person" for the purposes of applying the state's wrongful death statute, and accordingly a wrongful death action cannot be maintained by parents on behalf of a viable fetus. In affirming the trial court's approval of the defendants' motion for summary judgment, the court emphasized that the language of the 1967 legislative amendment to the Probate Code reads that the deceased must be a minor child at the time of the injury which resulted in death in order for the parents to recover damages.
