Some might point out that at 8 weeks, the fetus has developed peripheral nerve endings that connect to the spinal cord. But, this only results in reflex responses. Because the nerve circuit is not connected and interacting with the brain at this point of the pregnancy, there are no pain receptors present. As 99% of abortions occur during the first 20 weeks, the fetus does…

A few hundred years ago, a hand amputee could only have a hook prosthesis with limited function and social stigma for the replacement of his hand. As the technology advances, hand amputees can now have the option for a hand transplant…
