A liveborn baby. From Wordnet, Princeton University.
If he isn't a "liveborn" then he's not a person in Canada, therefore he has no right to healthcare and the baby can be left to die, as in this case of an abortion of a 35-week old fetus in 1999. From Wordnik.com. [More details on coding late-term abortions in Canada] Reference

Live birth is the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as the beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached; each product of such a birth is considered liveborn.
