Synopsis

Explore the medical‑legal puzzle of infanticide, with a clear, evidence‑based look at how live birth and death are proven in court.
This edition collects Dr. Hunter’s tract on child murder, its critiques, and a comprehensive medico‑legal overview. It presents arguments, tests, and notes in plain language to illuminate how experts assess evidence in cases involving newborns.


  • What counts as signs of live birth and how maturity is determined among newborns.

  • How physicians evaluate injuries, wounds, and possible violence in infant deaths.

  • What tests and reasoning courts use to distinguish natural death from homicide.

  • Context for how infanticide was understood and debated in medico‑legal history.



Ideal for readers of medical jurisprudence, legal history, and anyone seeking a grounded view of the evidence behind infanticide cases.
