"There is no sharp limit of development, age, or weight at which a fetus automatically becomes viable.[22] According to data years 2003-2005, 20 to 35 percent of babies born at 23 weeks of gestation survive, while 50 to 70 percent of babies born at 24 to 25 weeks, and more than 90 percent born at 26 to 27 weeks, survive.[23] It is rare for a baby weighing less than 500 gm to survive.[22]" en.wikipedia.org |
