The proposal is a theoretical study with the objective of examining the extent and limits of the legal protection granted to the unborn in the Brazilian legal system. For decades, the national doctrine deals about the most appropriate exegesis of art. 4 (1) of the Civil Code of 1916, which, currently, corresponds to art. 2 (1) of the Civil Code, with small textual changes, but without substantial changes. The Civil Code apparently opted for attribution of civil personality only after birth with life, ensuring, however, the rights of the unborn child from conception. The Civil Code itself expressly provides for rights to the unborn child, such as, for example, the right to benefit from donations and inheritance, the right to recognition of paternity and the right curatorship. In recent decades other federal laws reinforced the protection of the unborn child to safeguard their rights, such as, for example, the right to pre-natal care, right to health and physical integrity and alimony rights. Nevertheless, it is usual to realize that the recognition of these rights requires the granting of civil personality from conception, since the entitlement to such rights would depend on the full enjoyment of civil personality. Although, by the profile of interest, there is no obstacle to the recognition of economic, existential or multiple situations, that can be held by the unborn child, the concern of the national legislator always focused on economic aspects. Before the existence of subjective legal situations deserving of protection on the part of the legal system attributed to the unborn, this work aims to identify and disclose the non-economic rights of the unborn as being worthy of protection in Brazilian law. Through bibliographic research, observed the civil-constitutional methodology of civil law, there will be examined the concepts of unborn children, as well as the existing theories about the rights which are guaranteed, with a view to the possibility of protecting their existential rights.
