At which time period of the fetus/embryo does it receive it's first breath? whether it be through water or not, the first inhalation ??? If fishes breathe and they are under water, why do they drown when they are out of it? The moving of the air filled water through their gills? Then what if I ran some air filled water through their gills while they were out of water?? Then they would remain alive?

Let's see:

Contrary to popular belief, amniotic fluid has not been conclusively shown to be inhaled and exhaled by the fetus. In fact, studies from the 1970s show that in a healthy fetus, there is no inward flow of amniotic fluid into the airway.[4] Instead, lung development occurs as a result of the production of fetal lung fluid which expands the lungs. It also prevents the fetus from mechanical jerks and shocks.

The mother's placenta helps the baby "breathe" while it is growing in the womb. Oxygen and carbon dioxide flow through the blood in the placenta. Most of it goes to the heart and flows through the baby's body.

At birth, the baby's lungs are filled with amniotic fluid. They are not inflated. The baby takes the first breath within about 10 seconds after delivery.

Does that answer your question?

Now perhaps you can explain the point you are trying to make in this abortion thread? :confused:
