Isn't every living thing an individual lifeform? Including plants. It/they don't share their 'life-force' with another lifeform.
That being said, an individual lifeform doesn't mean something is a person.
A fetus is human; an individual lifeform attatched to - and living off of - its host, but living separately. It's irrelevant, though, because it isn't a person. It's a fetus. It isn't autonomous, it has no conscious mind, it doesn't feel or think... Just as a rose is an 'individual lifeform', but it doesn't do any thinking: it's not a person.
