Do fetuses feel pain?
| Thu, 12-20-2012 - 10:37am |
I saw a headline this morning that said that a challenge to Georgia's "fetal pain" bill would be heard in court today:

Supporters of the bill believe that fetuses can feel pain as early as 20 weeeks. Others say that this is false and that pain is a psychological experience and that fetuses that young do not have the consciousness and context to feel pain.
What do you think? Is there a strong enough answer on either side to base a law off of it?
