But it does not breath, in that there is no exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide through the lungs. That all that happens through the placenta and the umbilical cord. The first actual breath happens at birth. Though sometimes a baby takes a breath just a moment too soon and chocks on fluid. It's usually not fatal. They just cough it up. http://www.livestrong.com/article/27084-...athe-womb/
Thank God Jenny, some common sense finally.
Everyone else,
Everything I've posted is true. A plant is a plant at every stage of development, and humans are human at every stage of development. Everyone on the planet started out the same way, left it's mothers womb, and continued to develop.
Sorry, but no. Pushing amniotic fluid doesn’t make a fetus a person. I do have moral qualms about LATE abortions. But breathing has nothing to do with it. Brain development does.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
