and these experiments are done on live babies in the womb?

By the second trimester, long before a baby's eyes can see images, they can detect light.
But the light-sensitive cells in the developing retina -- the thin sheet of brain-like tissue at the back of the eye -- were thought to be simple on-off switches, presumably there to set up the 24-hour, day-night rhythms parents hope their baby will follow.
University of California, Berkeley, scientists have now found evidence that these simple cells actually talk to one another as part of an interconnected network that gives the retina more light sensitivity than once thought, and that may enhance the influence of light on behavior and brain development in unsuspected ways.
In the developing eye, perhaps 3% of ganglion cells -- the cells in the retina that send messages through the optic nerve into the brain -- are sensitive to light and, to date, researchers have found about six different subtypes that communicate with various places in the brain. Some talk to the suprachiasmatic nucleus to tune our internal clock to the day-night cycle. Others send signals to the area that makes our pupils constrict in bright light.
But others connect to surprising areas: the perihabenula, which regulates mood, and the amygdala, which deals with emotions.

You will notice among scientists who study such matters, referring to an unborn baby as a "baby" is normal.
The length that the evil left has to pretend that unborn babies are merely a collection of tissue is sickening. They know full well that abortion is murder. They simply do not care.
Babies in the womb can perceive differences in atmospheric pressure must more than leftists currently think.
They seem to have a preference for high pressure locations within the womb, over a low pressure location.
Really? It’s pretty damned dark in there.
Hey, once we perfect flexible screen technology, we can just implant a screen into the womb so the baby can start getting force-fed modern mass media even sooner!
We already know babies can hear in the womb. This is good news, but not much of a surprise. It’s a baby! In a few days the baby will out in the world. The senses begin to work long before birth.
I’m betting the feminazis will condemn this within 2 minutes.
Tell me. What exactly did I think they saw?
Life !
