You can notice something before you're dead if the state you were in prior to death was conscious life, which fetuses are not.
But then, I suspect this is another one of those times where you're trying to crow over some sophistic word choice, rather than actually follow the thread of the argument.
Then I would say to JuliaL, "I'd be sad if someone chopped you up into little pieces while you were under general anesthesia".
Whether or not a human being notices something or not doesn't determine if they've been morally wronged or not.
The "notice" element isn't important at all.
