Since we don't know whether a baby is present, it's not the same as abortion. So, if we burn down a building without knowing that whether or not anyone is inside, have we not committed murder as well as arson?

Is there a dead body? If not, there isn't a murder.

BTW, arsonists who kill people ARE charged with murder.
