It is highly relevant to the abortion debate, as it raises questions about balancing harm to the foetus versus the mother’s well-being. The other options—Habeas Corpus (legal right to challenge detention), Res Judicata (a matter already judged), and Jus Soli (citizenship by birth location)—are unrelated to this ethical context.

5. Question
With reference to foetal viability, consider the following statements:
1. Foetal viability refers to the stage at which a foetus can survive outside the womb, but there is no universal definition.
2. According to Indian law, foetal viability is set at 28 weeks of gestation.
Choose the correct option from the codes given below:CorrectCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
Explanation: Statement 1 is correct: Foetal viability refers to the point at which a foetus can survive outside the womb, typically around 24-28 weeks with medical intervention, but there is no universally fixed definition due to variations in medical technology and legal standards globally. Statement 2 is incorrect: Under Indian law (Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, amended 2021), the gestational limit for abortion is 24 weeks in specific cases, not 28 weeks, and “foetal viability” is not explicitly defined as 28 weeks. Thus, only statement 1 holds true.
