The 'media' isn't one thing. I don't have to prove anything. I note that the argument about 1st term development is an old, reliable argument with a scientific basis.

So were babies and dogs not being able to understand language. Both were proven false assumptions. As was the ability to recognize yourself in the mirror being indicative of self-awareness. What if you've never seen yourself before? Or don't know what a mirror is?

A 5 cm, 18 g fetus with minimal brain stem activity and no consciousness at 11 weeks doesn't understand anything. After that, the fetus develops consciousness.

It turns out that bees with pebble-sized brains can remember and recognize human faces. We never know when a fetus becomes conscious for the first time.
