Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most clinicians define a fetus as viable at around 24 weeks of gestation, when the lungs have developed to the point where the fetus has a chance of surviving outside of the mother's womb with medical assistance. While some fetuses born earlier than 24 weeks may survive, the likelihood of survival greatly increases at this point in gestation.
