    Agreed.

    Edited to add the word magical, and the final sentence.
    I don't think we could say they have thoughts in the womb. Perceptions are too limited for that. I'd expect they start having rudimentary thought shortly after birth, though it might be a few days or weeks. Newborns figure out pretty quickly that crying gets them attention, though.
