topcat Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The "how stuff works" podcast did an article on this. http://www.howstuffworks.com/air-birth.htm "The United Nations considers a child born in-flight to have been born in the airplane's registered country." but different countries treat the issue seperately "French" Midfielder Rio Mavuba was "born at sea" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Mavuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgiewave Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 What if the head popped out in luxembourg but the body came out in germany? At what point are you officially born? What about butterflies? Is it where the caterpillar was born, or the butterfly? It should be from conception, according to certain types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Nationality would follow the parents and would depend upon the laws of the country of the parents' nationality, in respect of nationality and citizenship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2NaFish Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 "French" Midfielder Rio Mavuba was "born at sea" http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Rio_Mavuba Rio means river in Spanish. That's wrong on two counts. Bad parenting. Edit. Unless "Mavuba" means 'misleading christian name' in Swahili or Esperanto. But it probably doesnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Are pregnant women so close to birth allowed on planes? Quite a few Shetland babies have been born on air ambulance flights. Last year there was one born on the Coastguard SAR helicopter. All within Scottish airspace, so not much help on the nationality front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Somehow I thought that if you were born on a ship or a plane you could claim nationality of the Country that the plane or ship were registered in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
