Without the soul, life is not automatically sacred. There are no memories or life experience for the fetus, so the way we look at it, the fetus or "baby" has nothing to lose, really. There's no good reason you should expect us to care about this "baby" losing it's life, because we don't believe a soul is present to make the life sacred.
So then it is just the memories and life experiences that make murder wrong, later down the line?
If something happens to a person and they lose their memories and their lived experience, it still would not be ok to kill them, because they are still experiencing life in the moment. A fetus can't experience life at that level yet. If the person is in a coma and they're unlikely to ever come out of it or if the person is braindead, then yes, the family can pull the plug and end that life.
