Doctors not so long ago operated on newborns without anesthesia for the same reason.

- GuB-42 3y agoThe things with newborns not feeling pain is a bit different. It was wrong, but not stupid. The idea was that newborns aren't "complete" (which is true) and that their pain system wasn't fully active yet (which is wrong), something about myelin if I remember correctly. Anesthesia is not something to be taken lightly, and if you can operate without it that's one risk less.
