03. When a baby is born in space, what will its nationality be? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Most likely the laws will follow our rules here on Earth when a baby is born in international waters on the ocean. The baby's nationality is the nationality of his or her parents first and then perhaps a second nationality of the nation that has control over the place where the child is born.
