When a person's 'sign of life' quits.....it's because of one of the following reason:
-
They suffered from natural causes and no longer had the ability to continue surviving in their aged body.
-
Because of some medical reason in which they couldn't overcome.
-
Murder.
There's nothing natural about removing parts of a baby out of a woman and therefore killing it. There's nothing medical about removing parts of a baby out of a woman and therefore killing it. There is, however, something called murder when you end a person/baby's 'sign of life', by removing their body parts and therefore killing it.
It doesn't take intelligence to figure this out. Just morals. We unfortunately lack a massive amount of both nowadays.
I agree with your feeling that the word fetus is dehumanizing to a developing baby. I used it in this instance to distinguish between a growing embryo and a fully formed birthed baby.
