because that is 100% false and a myth that won't die off. The reason they didnt use anesthesia on babies is because they didn't know how to administer it without killing them. At that time the way they did it was start off small and adjust higher doses. Works well with adults, leathal for infants. Once they knew how to administer it to infants, then they began

... while the reasoning isn't exactly what people thought, you can still see a vast and broad selectio of similar things today, once it is about nonhuman animals, everything that exceeds the stupidity of Desce R****d or how that non-feeling, senseless machine of a human was called, is, basically, considered ignorable because it would make luxury items (which, if we take a honest look, is literally every animal product) a tad more expensive. I can't find a way considering this less evil that does not require arbitrarily considering my own group above any other, and that, I cannot find a way to justify.

I call serious b******t on this one! Has anyone tried to even make a baby lie down when they didn't want to? What ensues is wriggling about. Then try to force that baby to lie down & stay still. Cue screaming & wriggling about. Now try to do open heart surgery on that screaming moving child. It couldn't & can't be done. Some sort of anesthesia had to be used, even if it wasn't a full-on general anaesthetic. Either was the drug of choice when anesthesia was first started & doctors didn't put you completely out, just enough to stop the pain but not stopping you from breathing. It was a fine line that was a thread when it came to infants. And everyone knows that babies feel pain! Why do you think they scream when they get colic or bad gas!?! This is such a ridiculous,false myth that needs to be taken out of folklore.

Kati Donovan 1 year ago

I'm a former NICU nurse during the '80's. I worked in a teaching hospital so the opportunity to learn to reasons for why things were done and to actively be involved in trialing new treatment modalities was incredible. The anesthesia risks were far more likely to cause an increase in mortality and morbidity than the actual condition being treated. The thought process at the time was not really that infants don't feel pain but the rationale was that their nervous systems were underdeveloped in teeny preemies but also that "pain is only something that can be remembered." I believe that the process was twisted over time to people thinking babies feel no pain. I realize that there were health care providers that believed that no pain was felt but the vast majority believed that the surgical procedure to save a life even if they aren't given anesthesia outweighed everything else. And I can promise you that the parents of these babies would rather have a living child at the end of the day.

A couple weeks ago Rockford airport was just given permission to expand over Illinois' best and nearly last prairie.

Native prairie species sequester carbon FAR MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN TREES and support more biodiversity. Not to mention their ability to stop erosion.

Not only are we destroying prairie for human expansion, but we also went too far with planting trees and fire suppression, so areas that should be prairie and savanah are just planted with trees because we just assume that the more trees the better.

Don't even get me started about people's "wildflower gardens" that help very few insects and animals as compared to actual native plants.
