That is a legitimate question, but it is of no concern to the law.
The law is concerned with persons. Not with Siamese twins, plants or clumps of cells, however viable they may be. Only persons have rights.
Instead of defining 'life' or 'humanity' or 'viability', define 'person' and ye shall be free of unnecessary confusion and irrelevant sentiment. A woman is a person. And a woman has the unalienable right to defend her body from any intrusion by another person, be it a fetus, an embryo or a grown adult. Nuff said.
