Or perhaps when did it ever become a virus? For the fetus does fit all the criteria for the 7 basic biology principles of a living organism. While a virus must utilize a outside source in order to reproduce. To compare a fetus to a virus is a bad analogy. As the fetus has the protential to reproduce. A virus is still in question as to whether it actually reproduces or simple duplicates.
