Yeah, I'm totally not following your arguments here. (Legal issue?)
First breathe of air is an arbitrary point to award a baby/fetus status as "anyone else" ("so long as it doesn't affect anyone else"), especially in a day and age when such a thing (birth) can be scheduled and preemies regularly live to adulthood.
Plus they're pretty dependent after they take that first breathe too.
