Of course, it's chances of survival at that point are nil unless it attaches to the uterin wall, so it is far from clear that society could, practically speaking, do anything for it at that point even if it wanted to. This, IMO, makes this particular question moot at best - a red herring at worst.

It is a potential new human being, but is it actually a human being at that point? If it matured, and survived being born, it would be a distinct genetically different human being- but are you saying it is a human being at the moment of conception? I'm not interested in arguing about it; I'm merely trying to ascertain what it is, exactly, that you believe.
