there is no sharp limit of development, gestational age, or weight at which a human fetus automatically becomes viable. according to studies between 2003 and 2005, 20 to 35 percent of babies born at 24 weeks of gestation survive, while 50 to 70 percent of babies born at 25 weeks, and more than 90 percent born at 26 to 27 weeks, survive. it is rare for a baby weighing less than 500 g (17.6 ounces) to survive. the chances of a fetus surviving increase 3-4% per day between 23 and 24 weeks of gestation and about 2-3% per day between 24 and 26 weeks of gestation. after 26 weeks the rate of survival increases at a much slower rate because survival is high already.
