I don't think I could ever eat that knowing what it is, but it does look like something that would be edible if need be.
In regard to the keeping silent, there's been a lot said between now and the beginning, but I'll throw this in anyway since I don't know if it's been said. In the psychology course I'm taking they've made it very clear that a baby's brain hasn't formed enough to remember anything from birth like pain or the screaming. People who talk about that kind of thing are pretty influenced by Freud, who isn't the best source on psychological information.
