The exact timeline for when a fetus becomes conscious is not definitively established and remains a topic of debate among scientists and philosophers. Some researchers suggest that basic neural activity may begin around 25 weeks of gestation, with the development of brain structures that could support consciousness. However, true consciousness, as understood in terms of self-awareness and perception, likely does not emerge until after birth, when the brain continues to develop in a social environment. Thus, the question of fetal consciousness is complex and intertwined with ongoing research in neuroscience and developmental psychology.
