It isn't if we can keep it alive, it is if it can keep itself alive.
Where does the ovum come from? The mother's ovary.
no, it doesn't have a brain or a heartbeat (unless it does, then it is)
no, it's if we can keep it alive. if it was about if it can keep itself alive then abortions would be legal way past 24 weeks
it comes from the ovary, but the fertilized egg isn't a part of the mother. It's separated from her until it attaches itself. The other half of the fertilized egg doesn't even come from the mother either.
