No, you can't. But then, neither is a baby that is less than a minute old. Neither is a one-month old, or a five year old. Children are vastly different to adults - physically and emotionally. That is why there have to be specialist childrens' and babies' doctors - a whole different ball game.

In fact - a baby that is less than a minute old has not changed at all except for that one minute it was in the mother's body and the next minute it is outside the mother's body. They don't just all of a sudden become human when they're born. All they are doing is moving outside where they were.

The minute beforehand it was exactly - yes, exactly - the same as it is after it is born. Fully formed, skin, hair, eyes, bones - everything. Except you just can't see because it's behind some skin and membrane and stuff.

Is that the distinction you are trying to make?
