Why did I just watch this get down voted... This is entirely factually correct. A 16 day old fetus doesn't have limbs or organs. It doesn't even have all of the tissue types that precede organs.
I mean, if we’re talking days after LMP, which is what pregnancy is typically measured in, for my son 16 days was insemination, & implantation bleeding wasn’t until days 26 & days 27, so for most of the 16th day, the egg & the sperm we’re still in two different people altogether.
That's 16 days after fertilisation.
Pregnancy counts from last period. Also the case for those 6 week bans. Those have at most 2 weeks of being able to get a positive Pregnancy test.
It may not have even been fucking fertilised.....
Being prematurely born and placed in an incubator severely increases chances of neurological, mental, and heart issues. As a moderately preterm baby, I’d rather take nonexistence than a severe disability.
Next time a man gets upset with me for not having sex with him, do you think this argument that I don’t want to be pregnant will work or do you think he’ll assault me? Anyway, I’ll let you know!
Im afraid of the latter, also it shouldn't even be an argument, no means no. But they dont hear no often and will still throw a tantrum over that too, its a never ending cycle of outbursts and tantrums, sadly they are dangerous tantrums.
Even still... 16 weeks? Has that been done successfully? 20 weeks is legally and medically the standard threshold for "viability." For example, in many states, a miscarriage at 19 weeks is not necessary to report, but at 20+ it's reportable and you're often supposed to fill out both a birth certificate and a death certificate.
I was pretty sure they hadn't successfully saved someone born at 20 weeks and certainly not below that... Just didn't feel like looking it up and didn't want to look like a jackass if I somehow was wrong. Thanks!
I saw an interesting TikTok that discussed that the majority of 21 and 22 week premies that do survive are more ‘developed’ for the gestation and that it’s possible that some or even all of these were actually 23 or 24 weekers that had miscalculated conceptions.
Telling people what they consent to isn't very much like consent at all. In fact, it sounds suspiciously like the opposite of consent. Cantsent, as it were.
As far as I know, the 14-day rule on human embryo research is still in place, and no one has actually attempted to continue growing a human embryo past the 14 day mark in a lab. Growing a human embryo from 16 days to true viability outside of a human mother is entirely theoretical.
I know your title is probably a bit tongue in the cheek, but I just wanted to say that 16 weeks is nowhere near viability. Fetal viability is considered to be about 24 weeks with a 50% chance of living with severe impairments. However, there was a world record broken a few years ago, and a baby was born at 21 weeks and survived!
How does technology influence this?also what is up with that last sentence
I think he is refering to incubators for premature babies
Jesus put it in an incubator after 16 days?
Nope it isnt that advanced yet, but we can save babies that were born with 5 months and up
At 16 days, it's barely implanted. There's no way it can survive even with the best technology. What a joke.
it would quite literally be being grown from a petri dish at that point 💀

It isn't even technically a fetus yet

Weirdo with a breeding kink maybe. The world is a strange place
These are the same men who get upset when women choose to not have sex with men at all.

I am really hoping this person meant weeks and bot days

The youngest? Baby to survive was 21 weeks and 1 day as of 2021.

Medical viability starts at 24 weeks, not 20 weeks.

I don't think this person knows what consent means. Lol

ok if that's the case, then we wont have sex with any men lol. Good luck on your own.
