How is it known that a fetus has no pain? Do nerves magically develop as soon as a baby is born, but not a minute before?

You beat me to it. Is it the exposure to air that causes pain to be felt?

Or perhaps, Infants feel no pain. Huh. That will be news to MANY a parent...

What if a baby is born premature? Does it not become a human or feel pain until it serves its full time (9 1/2 months)?

Yes. This is precisely why Scientology moms are not allowed to scream when giving birth to their scientology babies.

I think this guy's hypothesis is that pain reception is something that develops post-birth, like clear vision.

Which, of course, is crap.

The nervous system doesn't kick in until the fetus is completely out of the womb.

Therefore in partial birth abortion, there is no pain when the head is delivered and then punctured. The fetus is still touching the womb. < /sarc >

reading the whole article is interesting. the lecturer in psychology defines pain in a way so that even a newborn does not experience pain.

Yep. People with severe spinal cord damage (quadriplegics, etc) can't feel pain in (most of) their body, either. Does that make it permissable to kill them, too?

There are numerous accounts from women who had their child aborted via saline solution into the amniotic fluid ... takes many hours of writhing agony for the alive child to be dead for delivery/extraction. This 'researcher' needs to have a heart transplant.

Amazing isn't it ? People would believe "experts" who tell them the opposite of what is common sense.
