Clearly the Unborn are Humans, and Clearly They are Living Creatures

   If they are not human, what are they? The unborn, if we were to pull out our biology charts, charting all the creatures of the world, how would the unborn offspring of humans be classed? As humans, of course, unless we create a new species in order to not classify them as humans.
   And, if you suggest they are even alive that they should be classed as any species, then how shall we class them in terms of how alive they are? Living? Is there another description for something that has blood coursing through its veins, pushed by a heart that beats? Shall we create a new word, say, "Mxlbttl," to classify them as having some of the characteristics of the living, but not enough.
   About the only two characteristics they don't have, are that they haven't been born, and they cannot emit vocal sounds. Still, if they are not to be considered living, there ought to be a word to cover what they are.
   I jest, of course. To me, clearly, they are living. Undeniably.
   So, here we have it: They are clearly humans, and they are clearly living. If we take their lives, then, yes, we are killing them.
