Did all of these medical professionals really believe that babies felt no pain? How confident were they? Did they think about it often? How could they bring themselves to cut into tiny children, fully awake but paralyzed by muscle relaxants? Do they feel any guilt *now*?

Sometimes it seems utterly insane to me that educational professionals can look at a typical classroom and think "yes, this is what a childhood ought to be." But it's not insane. It's a standard feature of humans to be this recklessly unobservant when it suits you.

Could that be the reason why some generations are more used to pain in childhood than others. I know they won't remember but pain causes changes to brain .

Infant boys are still regularly circumcised without pain medication.

“Up to this time, babies were typically given a form of curare to paralyze their muscles for surgery, making it impossible for them to lift a finger or make a sound of protest.” Wow...

“Physicians advocated withholding anesthetic or analgesic agents from infants claiming that some infants undergoing surgery are often so unstable that the risk of an anesthetic agent is too great to justify the possible benefit of pain relief.” http://www.cirp.org/library/pain/aap/ …
