Is a fetus a developing human being (a person)?

Yes. A human being is defined as any member of the species homo sapiens. Each

An individual human being has his or her own genetic code (DNA) that is singularly unique and that is established at the moment of conception. The DNA of a fetus is different from that of animals, birds and fish and even that of the mother.

“Not all meat is the same meat, but one meat is that of men, another meat that of beasts, another that of fish, and another that of birds”.

(1 Corinthians 15:39)

Scientific evidence

Renowned geneticist Jerome LeJeune, M.D., Ph.D., of the René Descartes University School of Medicine in Paris stated, “If a fertilized egg is considered not to be a complete human being, it will never become one, because it is I would have to add something. But we know for a fact that this does not happen.”

“Before I formed you in the womb [I God] I knew you, and before you were born I sanctified you, I gave you a prophet to the nations”
