I gave an answer on Reddit a week or two ago to a what might be considered the current limiting case in clinical practice. In another comment in the same thread I tried to point out that there are a lot of edge cases, even where it seems to be a bright line. It seems reasonable to me that we should monitor this train of research closely, and I'm pretty confident people will. https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/3g31m0/are_fetuses_considered_a_living_thing/ctuetts https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/3g31m0/are_fetu...
