随着现代科学技术的进步和人权观念的发展，胎儿的民事法律地位和利益保护越来越受到人们的重视。在理论上，世界各国有很多的法律专家和学者开始重视关于胎儿问题的研究和讨论，对胎儿的相关情况进行深层次的分析，并结合各国自身的现实情况提出自己的理论。为各国的立法提供相应的理论依据，使各国关于胎儿问题的立法趋于完善。在实践中，各国立法者综合本国的各方面形势，用法律规定胎儿的某些权利，保护其利益。使实践中发生的此类案件有法可依，圆满得到解决。 虽然我国也有很多学者针对胎儿的问题提出了相关的理论，并且进行了广泛的交流和讨论，对我国的法律也提出了此问题的立法建议，但是立法者在立法时并未采纳。而目前我国民法领域对胎儿的民事立法有很大的缺失，导致现实实践中很多涉及胎儿合法利益的案件缺少法律的支撑，难以得到正当处理。因此，在未来的民事立法上，要确立胎儿的民事法律地位。一方面，实体法要在一定范围内赋予胎儿健康权、抚养请求权、继承权等民事权利能力。另一方面，在程序法上，一旦这些实体权利遭受侵害，胎儿就无法以自己的名义提起诉讼。当然就会阻碍我国法律的整体进程，使法律不能得到完善和发展。 具体从胎儿自身及其权利特点、世界各国对胎儿法律地位的立法规定、我国对胎儿法律地位及其利益保护的立法规定出发，进行比较和分析。从而在立法和实践中加强对胎儿问题的重视，找出我国法律对胎儿问题规定的漏洞，及时对此问题进行弥补和扩展，完善我国法律对胎儿的民事法律主体地位及其利益保护的规定。另一方面，由于我国目前法律对胎儿的法律地位及其利益保护的规定非常少，存在很大的不足，导致实践中关于胎儿的案例缺少相应的法律依据，得不到合理的解决。把现行立法和实践结合起来，使两者就胎儿的问题不但各自要改进和发展，同时要相互促进，相互贯通，互为所用。 因而非常有必要以法律规定的形式确定胎儿的民事诉讼法律地位，赋予其相应的民事诉讼能力，以求实体法和程序法的结合，弥补法律在胎儿权益保护的不足，真正实现法的价值，推动我国法律的完善和发展。

With modern science and technology progress and development of the concept of human rights, the legal status of the fetus and interests of the civil protection become more and more importment.In theory, there are many countries in the world of legal experts and scholars begin to pay attention on the issue of fetal research and discussion related to the fetus in-depth analysis of the situation, combined with the realities of their own countries and bring up their own theories.National legislation provide for the theoretical basis in order to the national legislation on the issue tending to improve the fetus.In practice, national legislators integrated in all aspects of their situation, the fetus with certain rights by law, to protect its interests.To such cases occurred in the practice of law, successfully resolved. Although there are many scholarsy put forward the theorandrelated to the fetus ,carried out extensive exchanges and discussions on China's law also raised the issue of legislative proposals, but legislators have not been adopted in the legislation.At present, the field of civil law of civil legislation of the fetus have a great loss, and in real practice,leading to many of the legitimate interests of the fetus in cases involving lack of legal support, difficult to get proper treatment.Therefore, in the future of civil legislation, civil law should estable the fetal position.On the one hand, substantive law within a certain range to give the fetus the right to health, the right to request custody, inheritance and other civil rights capacity.On the other hand, the procedural law, once the substantive rights have been violated, the fetus can not sue in his own name.Of course, will hinder the overall process of our laws so that law can not be improved and developed. Right from the fetus itself and its specific characteristics, the world of the fetus the legal status of legislation, the legal status of the fetus and the interests of the protection of legislation starting comparison and analysis.Legislation and practice, thus strengthening the importance of the issue of the fetus to identify the provisions of our law on the issue of fetal vulnerability, in a timely manner to make up this issue and expand and improve China's civil law legal subject status of the fetus and the interests of the protection requirements.On the other hand, due to China's current laws on the legal status of the fetus and the provisions of protection of the interests of very few, there is a big enough lead on the fetus in practice the lack of appropriate legal basis case, not a reasonable solution.The current legislation, and practice, so that the two problems to the fetus not only to improve and develop their own, but to promote each other, interconnected and mutually use. Which is necessary to determine the form of law the legal status of civil fetus, giving the corresponding civil capacity, in order to substantive and procedural law, combined, make up the law's lack of rights protection in the fetus, the real value of the law,promote the improvement and development of the law.
