I made it at approx 25 or 26 weeks in 1970's medicine. Are you sure? With modern medicine?

I am not and expert or even very well informed on this subject. The information that I have is:

A group of 167 scientists and physicians told the Supreme Court in 1989 that "the most important determinant of viability is lung development," and that viability is not achieved significantly earlier than at twenty-four weeks of gestation because critical organs, "particularly the lungs and kidneys, do not mature before that time."

Modern medicine has come far since that ruling. There is now medication to speed up lung function and some earlier babies do survive.
