Child deaths, at the turn of the Century, were considered a political, social
and economic issue, fundamental for any state as children represented the real
wealth of nations and their hope for the future. In this context there are
different definitions of the term “value”. On the other hand there is a
clearly economic definition of infant life. There are also ethical
considerations in which infancy is considered a morally positive value and the
value of child is sustained in its importance for the family, nation, race, and
even for the advance of science.
