Thank You, I love how you said that. A red flag goes up when I hear people referring to a fetus

You're welcome, and I note that he/she changed their language later.

However, to be honest, I think it is all in the context of how you use the term. For example, I'm working on a project that "documents fetal development". When I say this, I think - ? hope ? - that it is clear that I'm referring to a specific phase in human development, before the human becomes a post-birth "infant".

I kind of think of the term "baby" as encompassing the "zygote/embryo, fetus, infant" phases of human development.

But, I could be wrong. Should I be referring to my project differently?
