Fetal viability and infant/baby viability are two separate and distinct facets of viability.Fetal viability
The human brain is not fully developed until adulthood.
So think of fetal viability in terms of brain function.
A fetus at 22 weeks has just barely crossed a critical threshold by having a sufficient cardio vascular muscle and nerve system with which brain activity can send signals and recieve data to keep heart and lung activity operstional if for any reason separation from the mother’s life support system must be achieved,
Prior to that incomplete brain function or capability in a fetus is scientifically considered not viable.
