Republican Rep. Michael Burgess, a OB-GYNE by training, recently pushed the idea that fetuses as young as 15 weeks old masturbate, hence, the move to push the ban on abortions up to 15 weeks old. The CNN article however cautioned that the science regarding such notion has yet to be comprehensively studied.
This is a very interesting field of study as it will show whether fetuses do indeed feel pain, and corollary, feel pleasure. The findings of the research on the said topic would open new avenues on our understanding of intra-fetal life and although I personally favor abortion, regardless of the reason the woman chooses, further studies and research on the premise would help us understand the dynamics of human fetal development which has implications for healthcare and ethics.
