I have found so many people get really really
pissed off if you call an unborn child a baby.
I assume its because it assumes the "fetus"
is alive.
On a side note, we cannot prove when humanity
begins. They have not conclusively proved
it at all...so why the heck would you do that if you are
not sure? Even if there is a small possibilty that it is?
I mean would a hunter shoot at a deer if there was
a possibility it was a person?
When i was pregnant i proudly called my unborn
child a baby. Fetus makes it sound like an organ
or a science experiment.
Even though the fetus is not technically
a "part" of the mother. It is its own entity.
I am also amused by people who call it a "parasite" WTF?
An unborn human is not an "infestation".It is a
normal occurence to the act of sexual intercourse.
Its not some disease some one picked up.
Also the heart begins to beat within the first
couple weeks of life. Is that not evidence of life?
before that who knows. But a heart beat is a heart
beat.

An unborn child still in the womb is technically called a fetus because it has not been born yet. This does not mean that it is not alive. An unborn child's (that is what I prefer to call it) heart begins beating in the womb at 24 days of gestation. Therefore, the baby is alive in the womb, and you can call it either a baby or a fetus. It all depends on the preference I suppose. I hope this helps.

Its a Human Baby fetus. Its still an unborn baby that is called a fetus while still in utero. Its not meant as a bad thing but it is true. A baby is a parasite in your body. It is seperate from you but, needs to live and eat off you to survive.

Pro choice people mainly call it a fetus because they don't want you to think of it as a baby. Because if you thought of it as a baby then you would live with the guilt of taking that babys life through abortion if you were to do so. But, when they say fetus it softens it a little bit.
