So they walk like ducks, look like ducks, and talk like ducks, but ain't?
If you're walking down that path then let me show you how a 4 week old fetus looks like and then you can decide if it's human or not. Looks more like fish to me.



However by your definition, it would be illegal to even remove the egg only a second after a sperm managed to get in there because it would then by definition be human, wouldn't it?

There's a difference between a fetus and a baby.

Baby: Fully grown child OUTSIDE the womb.
Fetus: Living developing organism that can not survive outside the womb.

While still a fetus it can not be considered a human life. It doesn't even have shape or personality yet. In fact, at this point it's disposable. I agree that at a certain point, ala 7 or 8 months into pregnancy, you enter a grey area. But if you decide to abort at 4 or 8 weeks, then the fetus is as good as disposable.
