So a fetus is dead? Those are the two choices---alive or dead. There is no inbetween.
And if dead, then it becomes alive somehow, as I assume you are? That's a miracle. Rock and steel can't do that. We maybe shouldn't be interferring with a miracle in process; the One that is causing that miracle may not appreciate it.

By that logic, a newborn human baby isn't alive either--it has to be fed and given liquid. It has not the means to do so on its own.
Edit-- I went back and read your first note and you equate the ability to express a desire for food with the ability to acquire it. It's not the same thing, but even under your logic, a fetus has the ability to acquire food--it gets it from its mother without having to express a need for it.
