The viability factor

Can you use the baby’s ability live outside of the womb (viability) as a measure of when a baby is human? No way! To do so is completely illogical. Fifty years ago viability was at 30 weeks. Twenty-five years ago it dropped to 25 weeks. Today we have preemie survivors at 20 weeks. It’s not that moms or babies have changed, but that there is a tremendous increase in the sophistication of external life support systems around the baby, better neonatal care units, and highly skilled doctors and nurses.
