No they are not indiviuals. it is part of a individual. there is a difference. "A person seprate from other persons and posseing his or her own needs or goals." wiki. and it is her responsibility to choose whether or not to allow the ftus to develop into a person. Her responsibilty to choose to accept futher responsibilty for the care of a human once it has developed from the fetus.
To me, a person exists from conception... it's how I've come to understand it. You define it differently: after fetus.
The new human is existant from conception. It is never a human 'somewhere along the line'. The information that makes it into the human being is all right there in the fertilised egg. Mum does nothing more than facilitate it's development: her body feeds it and provides a host environment that helps it to develop.
