> but apparently we can’t apply that standard to a fetus

For what it's worth I'm totally fine applying that standard to a fetus.

Being able to be kept frozen outside a body doesn't make something an organism, at least not by any definition of the term I've ever heard.



(Though to be clear I think a person should be able to do whatever they want with whatever is inside them until the moment it’s not)
