By chance, does the "with child" have a "child's" heartbeat, or a "fetal" heartbeat?Now who's cherry picking their definitions? You forgot the last part: person; man, woman, or child. Not fetus.Not according to the definition of human being.Nope.. .A fetus IS a human being. Not a "potential" one... but a human being in the fetal development stage. It is a potential infant.. a potential toddler... a potential teenager... a potential adult. An infant is a potential toddler... a potential teenager... a potential adult... a toddler is a potential teenager... a potential adult.... a teenager is a potential adult. ALL OF THEM are human beings. They began being human beings at point of conception.
Yep... according to the definition of a human being:
noun
1.
any individual of the genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens.
Geeeez now you don't even know how to read a dictionary?
You still haven't answered why the Oxford dictionary refers to pregnancy as being "with CHILD."
Your incessant denial of the fact that a human being in the fetal stage of their life is a child has already been refuted.
I can never remember.
It's not either or. They are one and the same.
A child in the fetal stage of their life can be called a fetus. . . But they are still a child. They are still the young of the parents who created them.
During pregnancy, it is the child's heart that pumps the CHILD'S blood through the planenta and the umbilical chord.
Look it up.
