This isn't a direct response, but while on the subject of the fetus and pain...
There is a time during pregnancy, I'm not sure when it starts, but I think it continues up to about 22 weeks, when the futus has full ability to feel physical pain yet has not developed the systems that we have to "shut off" pain above a certain level. They, of all humans, have the acute ability to feel uncontrolled pain.
