Babies Learn to Recognise Words in the Womb

As a baby grows inside the mother's womb recent research shows that the baby has the ability to hear sounds from the outside world. A 1988 study found that new-born babies recognise the sound of the theme tune of their mother's favourite soap opera. Cognitive neuroscientist of the University of Helsinki says that "if you put your hand over your mouth and speak, that is very similar to the situation the foetus is in." He went on to say that the growing baby "can hear the rhythm of speech, rhythm of music and so on."

This study again makes us confront the opinion that the child in the womb is just a blob of cells. On the contrary as science continues to show us, this new conceived organism is a living human being who has inalienable human dignity simply by the fact of being human. There is no stage of life that a human being is not a human being. To deny this fact is almost akin to denying science.
