Newborn babies do not possess any cognitive ability. All their actions are based on instinct, like that of a typical animal. It's not until later in the child's developement that it developes a 'personality.' Just thought I'd throw that into the fray..[b said:Quote[/b] (CCGR @ Aug. 27 2004,10:19)]if you can't afford a baby you should either abstain from sex or use contraception. f amily planning give that stuff out for free. My baby is due in 4 weeks. I hardly consider it a fetus. She is alive, moving around a lot and even has personality (she's very active and agressive) If she were to be taken out her survival rate is very good. She is more than a bunch of cells.
