When the sac was opened, the tiny human immediately lost its life and took on the appearance of what is accepted as the appearance of an embryo at this age.

It sounds like they murdered it.

Please re-read the article. The baby had to be removed from the mom due to a ruptured ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. I would not consider this murder. If this operation had not been performed both baby & mom would have died.

An ectopic pregnancy is outside the womb. The baby isn't going to survive regardless. At a few weeks development, how do you propose they save it? Obviously it's tragic, but to call it murder is ridiculous.

Even though it was alive at that time it wasn't viable.

Implantation in the fallopian tubes leaves no place for the baby to develop and it will result in a ruptured tube and possibly the death of the mother.

The placenta cannot be reimplanted once it has rooted.

Placement of the placenta has a great deal to do with if a pregnancy can be carried to term or not. It has villae (roots) that imbed in the endometrium. Shear the roots off and the pregnancy is lost to loss of oxygen and nutrients.

If it is placed too low in the uterus , as the weight of the baby pressed down on the cervix the placenta will shear off and the mother hemorrhages and the pregnancy is lost.
