If a fetus were taken out of the womb early enough, it would certainly die, even with incubators. Therefore, until the fetus can survive on its own, it will be a 'part' of the mother and not actually a living functional being capable of survival.

While the fetus is 'alive' it is not a form of life in any twist of the words. (You can keep a dead man alive indefinitely using machines, but he's still dead).
