An embryo becomes a fetus after how many weeks of development?

Answer 1

At twelve weeks the emryo is then called a fetus because of the process of organogenesis, which is the process of organ formation. The brian has developed by this point but will not develop further until much later in the pregnancy. The heart has usually started to beat by this point as well. at 10 weeks

Answer 2

Well, The foetus is considered viable ( which means it could survive on its own if for some reason the mother gave birth early etc) at 24 weeks, hence why at the moment the abortion limit in the UK is 24 weeks, u can not have an abortion after this point, so most midwives, dr's etc would say around 24 weeks, hope this helps!

Answer 3

This is something people often argue about. So for someone who is pro life for instance a embryo/fetus would be a person, while from a pro choice view the woman would be considered a person more than the embryo/fetus since she is the one who is sentient and capable of feeling which the embryo/fetus is not until birth.

Answer 4

The question as to when a human person begins is a philosophical question and can not be answered by science.
But as far as science goes: upon fertilization, parts of human beings have actually been transformed into something very different from what they were before; they have been changed into a single, whole human being. During the process of fertilization, the sperm and the oocyte cease to exist as such, and a new human being is produced. A human zygote is a human being. It is nota "potential" or a "possible" human being.
