Study Denying Fetal Pain Lacks Scientific Basis, Pro-Life Groups Say

London, England -- A new study from members of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists lacks a strong scientific basis and ignores the evidence supplies in several previous studies supplied by leading researchers in the field, say pro-life groups who are criticizing the new report.

Murder is murder, whether the victim experiences pain or not.

So, legally, I can cut the arms and legs off of a paraplegic and let him bleed to death, because it won’t be painful!?!?!?

Explain the rationale behind these idiots! Please?!?

The very organization that should be in the forefront of defending these Innocents.

Unspeakably sick.

>> So, legally, I can...

The implication that the absence of pain justifies killing a human is absurd. There are many conditions where a human is sedated with poor or no sensory responsiveness, and in none of these cases is it moral or legal to bring harm to the sedated individual human.

There’s certainly scientific value in understanding the ability for nascent human life to sense pain, but that knowledge should be for the benefit of the unborn, not used to argue against its existence.

I can’t believe that the medical community thinks this to be true after all of the evidence to the contrary. We know babies born at 20-24 weeks all have extremely sensitive skin that hurts them to be touched at times so why would anyone think that the weeks prior to their birht they felt nothing at all? I jsut see this as another way to view them as not human and that is a mistake.
