Excuse me, but James Elgin Gill (born on 20 May 1987 in Ottawa, Canada) was the earliest premature baby in the world. He was 128 days premature (21 weeks and 5 days gestation) and weighed 1 lb. 6 oz. (624 g). He survived and is quite healthy. (Cut and pasted from Wikipedia and cross checked against citations)

His development is the exception rather than the rule, but he is definitely proof that viability and normalcy are possible. And if you read what the doctors wrote about his case, the baby definitely could feel pain, and respond to stimulus. So what now?

However, you did a nice job of framing your thoughts. You should be proud of your post.

I would consider revising that last line, it didn't make much sense.
