The Swiss Federal Council issued an order this week banning cooks in Switzerland from placing live lobsters into pots of boiling water — joining a few other jurisdictions that have protections for the decapod crustaceans. Switzerland’s new measure stipulates that beginning March 1, lobsters must be knocked out — either by electric shock or “mechanical destruction” of the brain — before boiling them, according to Swiss public broadcaster RTS.

The announcement reignited a long-running debate: Can lobsters even feel pain?

“They can sense their environment,” said Bob Bayer, executive director of the University of Maine’s Lobster Institute, “but they probably don’t have the ability to process pain.”

Boiling lobsters alive is already illegal in some places, including New Zealand and Reggio Emilia, a city in northern Italy, according to the animal-rights group Viva.

A Swiss government spokesperson said the law there was driven by the animal-rights argument.

They are not "unborn", they were never born at all. They weren't born YET.

You'd describe cake mix which hasn't been baked as "unbaked", you can describe a child which hasn't been born as unborn.

I just take them out back and shoot them in the back of the head with a silenced .22. Although it's legal to boil them alive here, Lobster brings out the mobster in me.
