Baby Geniuses

The May 2009 Issue of Psychological Science has published an article on the intelligence of babies.


“Our research on babies strongly suggests that right from the beginning babies are active learners,” Susan Hespos said. “It shows that we perceive the world in pretty much the same way from infancy throughout life, making fine adjustments along the way,” continued Hespos. This is an amazing finding for the pro-life movement. I have two children and I have been amazed at the amount that they learn everyday. Most people are still under the assumption that children that babies are less than human for the first six months. "Babies are aware and collecting data all the time," says Hespos. This discovery should show legislators that babies are fully human, and it is not a slowly realized personhood. Rather, from birth babies are aware and learning.
