Of course it is. If it were a dead fetus it would never be born as anything so of course it's alive. If it's not human than what is? Cat? Dog? Frog? Follow the simple logic! If it's not dead then it's alive. If it's not a lizard or a frog than it's human. If when it comes out of the womb it is alive and human then when it was in the womb it was alive and human.
You can't have it both ways because you don't want to be bothered with having to consider the fact that you are killing a real human being when you have an abortion. Just because it has spent some time coming down the vaginal canal doesn't mean that before it started it's journey it was a non-human thing and when it ended it's journey it MAGICALLY became a real human being.
If you people spent TWO SECONDS in real LOGICAL THOUGHT you would see that it is IMPOSSIBLE for it NOT to be human both before and after birth.
This life or death question is NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. Get over yourselves and think about your (real, actual) child for a change.

You just answered your own question. A Living FETUS so yes it a living HUMAN. Just because it's not big enough to live on the outside of the mothers body does not make it any less of a human. No one should play god and take a life away from a helpless baby/human before it's time no matter if he/she is still a fetus or a 100 yr old person..

Yes. If you did nothing to interfere, it would continue to grow, be born, and interact with other living human life. The unborn, newborn, 1 year old, infirm, and elderly all depend on on someone else to take care of them. The difference between the unborn and the others is that you can't see the unborn. Technology has allowed us to see so much more, but people still question.

It depends on where you believe life begins. Does it begin at the moment of conception? Does it begin once the brain is formed? Once the heart beats? The moment that baby takes its first breath? Once the baby is born? Or how about the very moment that a baby can acknowledged their own existance?
It ultimately depends on who you ask. To some, the fetus is a living human life at the moment of its conception. To others, it is at times after that. This is why abortion is such a touchy subjuct. Many people differ on their position as to where life begins.

A matter of your personal definition of a living human life, and a question lawyers and philosophers wrestle with. It looks nothing like a human in the first few days and weeks, but will become the familiar shape of man in time. All a function of time. Look at yourself-as a young adult you probably don't look much like you did as a small child. And when you get old, you won't look much like you did as a young adult. So....when do we start saying this shape marks the time of becoming human, or that number of days after conception. For me, when those first two cells start to replicate it is a human life. Forget whether the person looks like microscopic sea life or is wrinkled and aged. It's still human. One man's opinion.

Absolutely. From the moment of conception. Even when there is not a heart beat, yet cells are still dividing and multiplying and forming a new human life. Then when the heart is beating how can you say its not a human life. Later the baby kicks and moves around. Definitely a living human person.

Yes, it is from the time of conception. Usually, by the time you find out you are pregnant there is already a heartbeat. Later on you can see and hear the heartbeat through ultrasound. Just recently I saw my baby sucking its hand, eyes wiggling around, and heartbeating through ultrasound. The baby moves all around in the fluid. By the way you answered your own question...An unborn LIVING fetus.

You answered your own question with the word, "unborn".
Is a life worth living if you don't have the freedom to choose what to do with your own body?

NO - According to the medical profession a foetus is considered a living human being when it has developed all its vital organs i.e. heart, lungs (after 30 weeks). This is why abortions are illegal after this period.
I say ... tell that to the mother and father pre 30 weeks
