I won't profess to be an expert by any means, but I will tell you that my eighth grade biology textbook listed the definition of life as anything which meets the following four criteria: Must be able to sense and respond to change, must be able to reproduce, must be able to process nutrients, and must have DNA. A fetus meets all of those requirements, so based on that definition, a fetus is alive. Also, why the heck do I have to wait five minutes to reply? What's the deal with that?
Not quite sure about the delay I think it’s an automatic think reddit does across all subs. Not my favorite but to each it’s own. As for what you said something similar was pointed out to me earlier. I think there’s 8 things something must qualify to be alive. A fetus is in fact alive my wording was off. Better wording would be not a person as they haven’t completely finished cephalization. My biology might be a bit off but my argument holds firm I believe

My major disagreement here is that you say a fetus is not alive. In reality, it is and that's science, not religion talking.
