about 3-4 months is when they start being able to recognize and react to people's faces and remember who's a stranger and who their mother is
most people that study child development say that the baby will develop a concept of self and realize they are a seperate entity from their mother at about 5 months. |
Just what does this have to do with what I was talking about? Nothing like totally changing the subject to skirt the issue.
No where did I say that a baby after being born was not "alive". That's stupid.
I specifically mentioned that a fetus, while still in the womb, can demonstrate intelligent reactions. I also said that I don't know when that dividing line between "alive" and "not-alive" would be.
You seem to think that the second that the sperm penetrates the egg, an alive baby is formed. I disagree with that.
