NEW RESEARCH: ‘ADULT-LIKE’ NERVES IN VERY YOUNG EMBRYOS AFFIRMING THE LIKELIHOOD OF FETAL PAIN.

This new research shows that the nervous system of an embryo is quite complex by the time most women find out they are pregnant.

study published in March 2017 reveals “adult-like” pattern of nerves established before the end of the first trimester. This new dose of science and technology should inform our fetal pain debate.

The study generated 3D images at the cellular level of actual human embryos ranging from 6 to 14 weeks gestation (4 to 12 weeks post-fertilization), as never before seen. These images show nerve, muscular, cardiovascular, and other organ system development. The results are incredible. For example, below is an image of the complex peripheral nerves of an embryo at 7 to 8 weeks gestation (5-6 weeks post-fertilization):

The second image shows the nerves on the right hand of embryos from 7-11 weeks gestation (5-9 weeks post-fertilization).  MORE

  1. Of course the study is fascinating but it only proves what I already know. Will it change anyone’s mind that abortion is murder? Doubtful but it sure is worth a try. Now, THIS is science.
