Original Note:
At six weeks, the 1/4-inch-sized embryo has no heart. An ultrasound can detect “a little flutter” where the heart will be. Organs are formed in the first trimester. The fetal heart does not have fully organized muscle tissue until the 17th-20th week, not the 10th. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/heartbeat-bills-called-fetal-heartbeat-six-weeks-pregnancy-rcna24435 https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/09/02/1033727679/fetal-heartbeat-isnt-a-medical-term-but-its-still-used-in-laws-on-abortion https://www.livescience.com/65501-fetal-heartbeat-at-6-weeks-explained.html https://www.wired.com/story/heartbeat-bills-get-the-science-of-fetal-heartbeats-all-wrong/
