Question

What is approximately the earliest point that a fetus can survive outside the womb? A. 5 monthsB.6 monthsC. 7 monthsD. 8 months

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 7 months

Explanation:

Many Doctors now consider 22 weeks the earliest gestational age when a baby is "viable," or able to survive outside the womb. But this is still extremely premature, and a baby born at this age will need a great deal of medical attention. Even if he/she survives, the risk of permanent disability is very high.
