Foetus 'cannot feel pain before 24 weeks' - Telegraph
Nerve endings in the brain are not sufficiently formed to enable pain to be felt before 24 weeks, according to the report by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, which had been commissioned by the Department of Health.
The report said: "It can be concluded that the foetus cannot experience pain in any sense prior to this gestation."
