Can the Fetus feel pain?

The International Association bfor the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as an unpleasant sensory and
emotional experience associated with, or resembling, that is associated with actual or potential tissue
damage.
Also, pain has a learned psychological aspect, too as the study shows that premature babies who had
already been exposed to painful stimulation showed evidence of being more stressed when the same
procedure was repeated than those of the same gestational age who did not have prior experience.
Until the late 1980s, there was a prevailing belief in the medical community that even newborns couldn't
feel pain due to their underdeveloped brains.
Today, many major medical organizations believe that a fetus is capable of feeling pain from 24 to 25
weeks.
At 24 weeks of development, the fetuses respond to Noxious stimuli with increased heart rate and blood
pressure.
At 30 weeks, fetuses have brain activity in areas associated with pain processing.
The ability of a fetus to experience pain and awareness is influenced by the development of the nervous
system.
The cortex, the outer layer of the brain, is a crucial part of the brain involved in the perception of pain.
the thalamus, another brain structure, serves as a relay station for sensory information (like pain) to the
cortex.
In the early stages of fetal development, the cortex,subcortical areas such as the brain stem and
thalamus are not fully mature, and synaptic connections are still forming. Therefore, in the early stages
of development, the brain doesn't have the necessary hardware and software to support conscious pain
perception.
On the other hand, there are some theories that a fetus could feel pain perhaps as early as the first
trimester, which is up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
They believe the neural pathways necessary for pain perception start to be seen in the fetal brain as
early as 7-8 weeks of gestation, and pain receptors and spinal cord connections are linked to the brain by
12-15 weeks.
However, evidence indicates that the possibility of pain perception before 28 weeks of gestation is
unlikely. It is now recognized that pain perception requires a comprehensive network rather than the
presence or absence of a specific region or set of connections. This has been termed the human pain
connectome.

Thank you all of the team for bringing, in a high quality video, a so delicate and not open and scientifcally discussed issue as it should be. Please, keep going in the subject of pregnancy and fetus including aspects of nutrition, sleep, emotional aspects for the health and brain development. I wonder if defenses are created in the fetus according to the adversities the pregnant mother went throught. The video is opening a relevant topic: how the integral health of the mother and her family and social relations affect a pregnat woman and the fetus. It is not clarified, it is not recognized. Also, the brain development of the fetus is modulated by the mother emotional, nutritional, sleep conditions.

🌿I always look forward to Dandelion videos, 🌿Thank you Dandelion 🌿Greetings from the Netherlands🌿 ----The nervous system is developed between the fifth and seventh week of your pregnancy. The fetus could feel pain from the 13th week of pregnancy? From week eight onwards, nociception begins to develop, so to speak the 'sense for pain'. That will be finished around twenty weeks.

I dont know how you got all that from this video. I think we hear what we want to hear. There are plenty of articles in medical journals that say they experience pain from 6 weeks. I personally don't care if the pain MAY not be experienced as a fully developed baby does, the fact they can experience stress or pain in their way is horrifying enough, especially when one is talking about ripping ones limbs off.

I always find it interesting when the baby is referred to as a fetus in a debate. Fetus is defined as the offspring of a human or mammal. Offspring is defined as a child(ren). Like uhm…. Read a book, maybe? Google exists for most. Applying your own definition to an already defined word is foolishness 🤷‍♀️

[@atsuko2003]

Fetus: "An unborn offspring that develops and grows inside the uterus (womb) of humans and other mammals. In humans, the fetal period begins at 9 weeks after fertilization of an egg by a sperm and ends at the time of birth." Baby: "In medical contexts, a newborn or neonate (from Latin, neonatus, newborn) is an infant in the first 28 days after birth; the term applies to premature, full term, and postmature infants." Those are official an scientific definitions, not ´their own´. The one who needs to read a book or at least search better on Google is you. Misinforming is foolishness.

The video’s description claims that fetus’ feel pain at 24 weeks. However, most abortions occur during the first trimester, which is the first 13 weeks. Ergo, the majority of abortions do not cause the fetus any pain.

[@longlakeshore]

So what if it does? Does anyone remember being in utero? The average age that children begin laying down long term memories is 2.5 years. All sorts of pain experienced before then goes unremembered and cannot be recalled.

@ssmot113 Like I said, And?? 28 weeks is roughly 7 months. This means that at that point, all vital organs are present, and brain development has occurred. Meaning before the 28 week mark, organ development had already begun.just because there is no "conscious pain," that doesn't make it alright for the fetus to be killed.

[@medusagorgon8432]

Well done. I have enjoyed this immensely. I have often personally felt that fetus do in fact feel discomfort and pain. They are conscious at the moment of conception. That being said, I do believe there are times when abortion is necessary. To think in absolutes on abortion serves no purpose. If the mother is in obvious danger because of the pregnancy there should be no debate! Otherwise you create a situation where the mother and the child dies! If the child is old enough to survive in (no matter how young), outside of the womb all the better. I have often wondered why the creation of artificial wombs for preemies have not received much attention. It seems like a workable solution, and is often a feature in Science Fiction thrillers.

[@painted_k9]

Consciousness from the moment of conception is impossible and unscientific.

[@ArmorofValor]

There is NO reason to have an abortion. The times when the mother is at risk is late in pregnancy and the they can just deliver the baby.

[@TabithaX-dg5yc]

Indeed, watching them melt away within 48 hours felt so good, and yes, I used what I mentioned the other day. It actually took a bit more to make them totally disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and the pain unexpectedly disappeared so quickly.

I think your question is about diffrence between fetus and embryo .... So that's until the digits well not form that's is upto 2 months or 8-9 weeks it's called as fetus after that embryo....

[@nobilityjudah5303]

That's right, unborn babies can also feel hurt if the mother has an unplanned pregnancy (often through teenage pregnancy) or is very depressed and unhappy during pregnancy. The unborn child may sense this and be hurt or feel unwanted. There is life even before birth. Yah is the creator of the human soul that arranges for birth into the physical developed body in the womb. Yes, the soul of an unborn feels pain.

[@ssmot113]

No country allows abortion after 24 weeks unless it's a danger to the life of the mother herself.... Also it's good to ask if just physical pain should be the criteria for deciding against the foetus, or mental pain of both mother and the child, possibly for their whole life, is also a criteria. Is life of the mother more important than an unborn foetus? Etc etc

[@joannesavinda1433]

I will always support abortion for several different reasons!!! I know women who had an abortion. 1 of them had 3 abortions. Their birth control failed, a condom broke, &, 1 of those women was raped. I know people who had surgery because they don't want to reproduce! I know people who hate people who try to force a woman to stay Pregnant, against their will, &, give birth! I know women who hate the majority of men! A woman I used to work with, divorced her Husband, &, is with a woman now!

[@orcadolphin4615]

Okay? And?

[@Love_nini7]

So the people who had their condoms broken and who didn't take birth control, don't know the meaning of reproduction? You'll have sex willingly, knowing fully well the outcome will be a child, and when the "protection" fails the next thing you think of is, "Oh! hey, let's kill the baby"🤡. There is no difference between killing a baby in the womb and killing a baby outside of the womb. You are killing a human and you know it. Agba abortion supporter.
