isn't that 'membership' precisely what this discussion / debate is about? is a fetus a person or not? is it "alive" in the sense of being separately living, not in the sense of being a biological 'living' thing. fucking moss is a living thing, you know? my tongue is a living thing.
i don't see conclusive evidence that a fetus has taken on the 'separateness' that i would consider a prerequisite for 'membership'
