This is logically false. You're mixing up "personhood" and "life."
There are many genetically distinct organisms on this planet that are not people. And in the case of plants, at least, not conscious.
If personhood begins with the forebrain, then prior to that point a fetus is simply a human-shaped chunk of tissue.
