A baby is born 8 months premature on the 15th of May 1958, but dies in January the same year. Is this possible

Answer 1

If the baby is a primate (including human) the I believe the answer would be that it is not possible for two reasons.

1) Assuming that the birth is a still birth, then death could have happened previous to the date of birth and for a primate that would put the date of conception as April or March at the earliest.

2) If it happened today with the ability to freeze embryos, it is possible that dead embryos could introduced in into the uterus and the death of that embryo was January (however that would be very bad medicine and you could likely sue the doctor for malpractice). However given this is 1958 the technology to do this was not available.

Therefore for primates this will not be possible.

However for Elephants and larger Quadrapeds (and assuming a still birth) this is possible as the gestitation period is up to 624 days.

Answer 2

That's an odd question.

On one hand, if a baby is born 8 months premature, it would be only 1 month post-conception. This is impossible since a 1 month old embryo couldn't really even be born.

Another take is that you have a typo, and you mean to write "a baby is born at 8 months gestation, prematurely, ... "
I don't know for sure, but maybe this would have been possible - the baby was conceived about September 1957, died at 4 months in January, but wasn't born until May when it had been in utero for 8 months. I don't think this is very likely though = I expect that a baby that dies in utero would be stillborn fairly soon afterwards. But I guess you could ask an OB to know for sure.

Lastly, I think all the answers have taken a Western approach to the question. Perhaps you are asking about re-incarnation? Maybe you mean to ask if someone died in January 1958, could they already be reborn after only 4 months instead of a full year? I have no answer to that, and I guess you would have to ask a religious thinker that question.

Good luck!

Answer 3

A baby 8 months premature is not a baby but a foetus. Does it mean that he was due on the 15th May 1958, but was aborted 8 months earlier? If he was born premature in May, in January of the same year (1958), he had not even been conceived yet.....

Answer 4

After the twenty 6th week, a infant has a superb danger of survival if born ahead, and this will enhance each week. of course, that's barely achievable if the infant gets perfect care interior the wellbeing facility, and could in lots of cases stay interior the NICU till the infant reaches the gestational age of 38-forty weeks. those toddlers might have wellbeing issues later in existence, as a results of organs no longer being waiting to totally sort clearly. by skill of the thirty fourth week, the infant will stay to tell the story with the right care. There are nonetheless opportunities however, for getting to understand disabilities. undecided if that's basically a curiousity for you, or while you're probably experiencing some early labour indications? if so, please enable your Dr. understand perfect away - now and back preterm labour may be bogged down via drugs/mattress relax.

Answer 5

Babies cant survive until they are about 4 months premature. Not possible

Answer 6

No of course it's not possible. The loss of a 1 month pregnancy is physically not much different to a very heavy period - you wouldn't even be able to tell what sex the foetus was.

Answer 7

Yes using a time travel machine

Answer 8

yes it is possible becouse the baby might have had problems that docters did not look over.so before they could do any thing the baby's time to live deteriorated.

Answer 9

if your thinking of the financial year or if you are thinking of it as within a year of being born

Answer 10

Only if it is a stillborn elephant
