Blessed that is a good reference,but yet it does not say if the fetus is alive.

it depends on your definition of "life"
however, there is proof of when the fetus can exist by itself without the mother's body...I believe it's at 5 months? (not sure)

life begins well before conception: both the sperm and the ovum are certainly alive.
human life does not begin until much later. 2/3 conceptuses are shed in the first menses after intercourse, but no church i know of christens menstrual flow, or says requiem masses for tampons.

Psalm 139-13-16
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
This is how precious we are to Him before birth. It's an atrocity that man takes God's gift away.
EDIT: Anything that grows is a living organism. How can it grow if it's dead? And it's precious to God, so isn't that point moot?

Im Jewish and I was told that life begins upon acceptance to medical school.

life just is... it doesn't "begin"
