I prefer the respiration test. If it's breathing, it's alive. Until it has taken that first breath, it's not alive, and once it's stopped breathing, it's no longer alive. It has a certain elegance to it as a solution.

I did not adress the issue of "rights". I was specifically addressing someone saying that a fetus wasn't a living thing.
To address your point, neither will a tumor ever turn into an automonous human being.
