The fact that you have to end it proves that it's a life. Or the other way around: if it weren't a life, you wouldn't have to terminate it.

I don't really think that works as an argument. You could say that a tumor has to be killed and therefore you are ending a life.

The analogy doesn’t work for me. A tumor doesn’t develop into a person.
