Doctors used to believe that babies couldn’t feel/understand pain.
More like doctors reject inconvenient truth in favor of useful lie
Humans in general, not just doctors. Not all humans but it’s not a rare trait. Or maybe all humans and I’m doing it myself by leaving that opening, which might be accepted because others also want to believe they don’t.

I’m not sure what you mean by this; the cervix is known to have many nerve endings and is accepted medical knowledge.

Um, yes they do. They tell us to take ibuprofen before the procedure.

I had epidurals for all my childbirths. I’ve had three IUD insertions, only one with ibuprofen. IUD insertion doesn’t hurt much at all either way. Just a moment of pinch & cramp then it’s fine. That has been my subjective experience.

And that apples are dangerous.

“A lethal dose of cyanide is around 50–300 milligrams (mg). A 2018 analysis of previous research states that a person would have to eat around 83–500 seeds to develop acute cyanide poisoning.” Medical News Today, citing 2018 Oxford analysis
A redditor also did the math on how many apples that would be: "Apple seeds can release as much as 0.6 mg of Cyanide per gram of seed.
The average apple seed has a mass of 0.756 grams
The average apple contains 8 seeds
Therefore there are approximately 5.25 grams of apple seeds per apple, yielding a theoretical maximum release of 3.25 mg of cyanide from one apple
The lethal dose of Cyanide is based on body mass and is listed as 1.5 mg/kg.
A human can ingest about 41% of the lethal dose before seeing any side effects.
41% of 1.5 mg/kg = 0.615 mg/kg
The average adult male weighs 81.6466 kg (180 lbs)
Therefore the lethal dose in the average male is 50.213 mg.
50.213/3.15 = ~16 Apples
Therefore the average male can consume ~16 apples without feeling any side effects."
I judge people who don’t sever the notochord first. It’s like the most basic respect you can offer.
I think the most basic respect you can offer an animal is to just not kill it.
That should apply to all living things. Kind of makes it hard to survive if we do that, though.
Not really. Just like everything else it’s just a little bit of a learning curve. Then it becomes normal and easy.
Not eating anything at all is “just a bit of a learning curve”?! What, are you one of those breatharians?
Not eating meat obviously.
Right, that’s not what I was talking about.
Then I don’t understand your main comment. You mean stuff like bugs that hit your windshield?
why are thelobsters cooked? They turn red during cooking, so these two must be speaking from experience.
