All parts of human development have different names, embryo, fetus, baby/infant, child, adolescent, adult. The fact that different labels are applied isn't a very meaningful argument great point.

Semantically, you've forgotten an important one: a viable life. One could argue that an individual life begins when that life is born, which is how a lot of people look at it. As far as stages, there is some 'crossover' point where a human being results. We agree (I think) that a separate ovum and sperm are not a human life; we simply disagree where that point of going from not-a-life to a life is. It is a difficult argument, which is why I hate arguing it, because so much depends on your beliefs and faith. When I was young, we were taught that your soul entered your body at birth, and left at death. I don't know if that formed the basis for what I now believe, but there it is.
