Technically it is not viable outside the womb and therefore it is still considered a part of the mother and not a separate individual.So it is a mass of living cells.owever, you used the term baby which has human connotations.

Viability is not when a fetus is considered a baby but at birth which has been as early as 20-21 weeks in some recent cases while viability is still considered around 27weeks with a good neonatal ICU (NICU). The only scientific definition is a baby is now a baby is at birth.f you look at state laws, that is their definition that a baby isn't a baby but a fetus until it draws its first breath. I consider the baby a baby when I can see a baby on an ultrasound (even if the baby looks more like a blob at that point) which is around 5 weeks.
