So you are saying it is POSSIBLE to keep it alive when separated from the mother?

Funny that you ask this question after making fun of me for answering it over and over again.

You're considering "a life of its own" as anything that doesn't require a host to sustain it. A full grown adult in some cases, and especially a baby, will require assistance to maintain viability. It's semantics and a weak stance to say a fetus is "different" from the other two examples in needing assistance. It is different physically,  but both still requires assistance. But, AGAIN, my argument isn't the physical difference, it's the weaksauce rationalization that half of the difference (fetus) isn't viable AFTER something intervenes to remove it from the assistance. Otherwise, left alone, it grows and becomes viable.

The other half still dies without assistance, they just die outside the host. It's not a rational basis for argument because they all die in the end.
