[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ability to breathe on your own is really what makes a fetus viable. So if the baby’s lungs aren’t developed enough to pass air through them ithat determines the viability level. It has nothing to do with feeding as that is understood as something babies need. It has to do with the ability to breathe air.

If you are ready to stop being a fish you can be viable.
Do some research people before you form your “not science based” opinions[/quote]

A human fetus starts breathing at 11 weeks. [/quote]

No sweetie, they are breathing amniotic fluid, not air.   If you are pregnant and may give birth at a preemie they give a surfactant while the fetus is in utero to speed lung development just in case the baby is born.  Although there are other factors, the thing no one has been able to get past is the ability to get a fetus to breathe air before 25 weeks (some babies can do this at 22, but this is RARE). If they don’t give a surfactant to the preemies, the air sacs burst when the fetus hits air.  The fetus will die without that and many do die because their lungs aren’t ready for air.
