A newborn is completely dependent and isn’t meaningfully any more of an individual. Also can be killed at will?

Missing the umbilical cord. Feeds via mouth, not via nutrients taken from someone’s blood. Breathes air, not oxygen taken from someone’s blood. Physiologically separate. Didn’t kill mom in childbirth.

A newborn is dependent on society. Anyone willing to take on its care can do so.

A foetus is dependent upon its mother. Specifically. One person to whom it is biologically attached. Not society generally.

Technology is advancing, but costs of transferring care are extraordinarily high, and outcomes quite uncertain.
