Not the same life-force since it relies on that of the mother and not the same individual without the individual autonomy. So no - not the same being at all.
All your doing is harping on autonomy. Accept science, no mater what the stage of developement is, it's the same DNA and organism that was formed at fetilization. If you want to harp on autonomy, then you must recognise that even a new-born still relies on others for it's survival.

No, it deserves a lower standard. A seed - once formed - can survive and grow without relying upon the plant that produced it. The embryo, fetus, "bunch of fucking cells" - cannot.

A seed has enough energy from it's parent that it can live for several days with nothing once it's germinated.
Whether or not an embryo, fetus, or a "bunch of fucking cells" can survive on it's own is irrelevant to fact that it is an independant living organism. A newborn cannot survive on it's own once outside the womb, nor can a coma patient on life support. All you're doing is making an excuse for taking human life when the only difference in that lifeform is it's age and abilities.

I don't. But then we are not talking about a human life here.
