A human fetus is generally considered viable around 24 weeks of gestation, which is approximately six months. At this stage, the fetus has developed enough to potentially survive outside the womb with medical assistance. However, advances in neonatal care have led to some infants born as early as 22 weeks surviving, though they face significant health challenges.
