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).

A baby after it's been born is till not a living function being capable of surviving. Also if something is alive it must be life, life is something that is alive. You can keep a person alive on machines, if you are keeping them alive in no way are they dead, you are talking nonsense.
