The authors have examined motion pictures of human fetal behavior and sections of the central nervous system of the same fetuses. On the basis of these observations the Cushings believe that the human fetus is capable of feeling and expressing hostility in utero. They contend that the infant becomes resentful and irritable and feels rejected during the birth process. This early store of hostility continues to be a lifelong problem to the individual which forces him to seek affection ever after. (These motion pictures were not made in Hollywood!)
