Experience in what way? Because rocks experience things too, you know.

If you're talking about awareness in accordance with the human experience, then obviously the fetus doesn't gain any of that until its brain has developed. But if you're just talking about experience in the way that matter is present for things to happen around it, then... well, what doesn't count as a child by that definition? Tongue
