text: To your rhetorical question:
  
  "Can Fetuses Feel Pain?"
  
  <<The neuroanatomical system for pain can be considered complete by 26 weeks' gestation
  
  A developed neuroanatomical system is necessary but not sufficient for pain experience
  
  Pain experience requires development of the brain but also requires development of the mind to accommodate the subjectivity of pain
  
  Development of the mind occurs outside the womb through the actions of the infant and mutual adjustment with primary caregivers
  
  The absence of pain in the fetus does not resolve the morality of abortion but does argue against legal and clinical efforts to prevent such pain during an abortion>>
