- guerrilla 4y agoNo, I don't believe you at all. If you hurt the baby, it suffers. Inability of most people to remember those times, doesn't make that not the case.
- wruza 4y agoIt signals danger and performs a mechanical avoidance procedure. You react to it by feeling a protective emotion. To know if it suffers, first you have to understand what suffering is, in scientific terms, and make sure you detach your builtin empathy from an actual process, because it’s only yours own.
- guerrilla 4y agoWe literally have shittons of scientific research on exactly that. Not only that but many people can remember being babies.

- barbazoo 4y agoWhat's "deeply disturbing" about that? I just meant that cognitively there isn't much going on yet.
- sethammons 4y ago"Believe me" doesn't cut it. Here are some accounts of remembering being born. My earliest memory is at 18 months old. https://www.vice.com/en/article/43kned/i-remember-being-born https://www.vice.com/en/article/43kned/i-remember-being-born
