Professor of Anesthesiology On Fetal Pain Response

13 week-old unborn baby

Dr. Vincent J. Collins, Professor of Anesthesiology and author of “Principles of Anesthesiology: General and Regional Anesthesia”

“Fetal pain responses begin by 13 1/2 weeks gestation at the latest, and probably as early as eight weeks, based upon the development of the pre-born baby’s nervous system.”

Quoted by Brian Clowes in Marybeth T. Hagan  “Abortion: a Mother’s Plea for Maternity and the Unborn” (Liguori, Missouri: Triumph, 2005) 175
