Amazing! That would have been cool to see when my two sons were still in the womb.

kinda freaky

That's impossible. They're a 'fetus' not a living baby.

Hey wallie_x -
A fetus is a living baby that's still in the womb.

If it knew what it was in for, it wouldn't be smiling...

this reminds me of that "fetus" that grabbed the abortion doctors finger during the abortion.

anyone else remember that?, i think the picture was on the front of some big publications.

aahhhhhh!!! that is scary looking

Atomic Rooster sez:

A fetus is a living baby that's still in the womb.

I know that. I'm anti-abortion (not absolutely, but within limits). My answer was geared to show the idiotic position of rendering a person as a non-entity with the title 'fetus'. I believe life begins at conception, not after one is born.

I've seen that look on babies before. Just when you think they're all cute and smiley they fart.

If the post was meant to stir a discussion about abortion I'm morally against it with reservation for cases of rape, incest, etc. But I don't think you can consider an early fetus a living human. An early fetus is more like a parasite. I think a fetus could be called a living human when it can be viable outside the womb, which is sometime in the second trimester.
