4D Ultrasound - Pre-born Baby At 16 Weeks - Pro-Life Video. Courtesy of http://www.focusonthefamily.com/. 4D Ultrasounds Challenge Abortion Laws. The latest 4D ultrasounds that can give video-like images of the pre-born baby will change the views on the time when the fetus can be considered a person. Dr Kristin Savell, of the University of Sydney, Australia, says that people would be more willing to change current regulations on late-term abortions. The 4D scan gives a strong visual imagery giving a video-quality view of the foetus in real time. With this scientific improvement, one can see the small features like eyes and lips that can be distinguished for a person without any medical education. The new technology would become the best argument to prove the personhood of the foetus at earlier stages of development. Traditional 2D images were mostly readable by doctors while more advanced 3D images could produce still but more life-like images. The 4D images will have even greater impact on the public to change their views on abortions and that would challenge the laws on abortion. Using 4D imaging technology we are now better able to study fetal behavior and characteristics. By Day 15, the fetus begins developing neurons in the brain and spinal column. At 22 days, the heart cells begin to beat. Up to the age of 8 weeks, the fetus subsists on the yolk sac, which then shrivels away as the fetus begins to rely on his mother for continued nourishment. Reflexive movement meant to strengthen and exercise his body begins at just nine weeks of development. By four months, the nervous system is up and running, and his bones begin to harden. His hands develop before his feet, probably because they are keeping up with the development of the rest of his senses: taste, hearing, etc. By four months, the fetus squirms when prodded. At just 11 weeks gestational development, the fetus exercises the sucking reflex he will need to feed at birth, and develops left or right-handedness at this time - not in childhood, as originally thought. Experts agree that there is no difference between the 33-week old fetus and the newborn child. In fact, "birth could be a relatively insignificant event in developmental terms." Sentience in the womb is well demonstrated by the development of the twin bond between identical twins, who, sharing the same amniotic sac, continually interact with each other in the womb while they explore themselves and their environment. Their intimate bond and familiarity with each other can be observed from birth. By four months, the fetus is aware of his environment, especially sounds, since hearing is the first sense to develop. He is especially sensitive to his mother's voice, and can recognize music - he has memory.

  • There is always someone who will adopt a child severely handicapped or not. Every child has a right to live even if to teach someone compassion. Their purpose in life should not be ended because of what a doctor says, they often are wrong. My 1st son died of Leukemia at the age of 7 years. It wasn't detected until he was 6 years old but I would have given my own life rather then stop his at any point. His life had meaning though short. No life is meaningless.

  • @Intuittogo -- I am sorry to hear about your loss - you will meet your son again someday -- thank you for your excellent comments!

  • Amazing video of a unborn person.

  • thank you!

  • Hey! I am 16 weeks pregnant after having one accident AND taking the morning after pill! Just thought I'd say HI, lol

    I very nearly did abort, but haven't x

  • I really don't understand why ppl get abortions. I mean I know why but I don't. If a man ejaculates in a woman, she can easily take the morning after pill JUST IN CASE. But then again why did you go unprotected in the first place. If you really didnt want to have a baby, a male would wear a condom even if the woman is on birth control, because there is still a possibility of pregnancy. There are so many ways for a pregnancy to be avoided that it makes no sense for ppl to get abortions.

  • @shrinkingviolett "accident"

  • people make that very hard decision for many reasons BuddhaBabie, my very best friend has just ended a pregnancy at 16 weeks as her AFP results and invasive tests devestated her with the news her unborn baby girl was severly handicapped, she did not murder her unborn foetus Squishy chocolate, she chose to terminate because the baby would have no quality of life whatsoever, may not have even survived the birth so don't tar everyone with the same brush. She is beside herself.

  • Murder is wrong, the age of the victim doesn't matter ! All life is precious!

  • soon to be

  • @BuddhaBabie believe it or not, some people take all those precautions and still get pregnant. Not every single pregnant woman was careless.
