the term unborn refers to those human

that's the same as saying the "undead" are
those who have left the womb but haven't
entered the grave yet...I agree with janet
-- it sort of suggests there's a big army
of succubi waiting to be conceived...

Anyone who is alive is not dead - the
undead are those who have died and are
dead but are manifested in some evil way
to seem alive - the "undead" dont exist
its fiction - unless you mean evil
spirits! .

Fyi: the "undead" usually refers to
vampires.

Just because you don't believe in
vampires, doesn't mean they don't exist.

the term unborn refers to those human
beings who are in existence, but have not
yet left the
womb. |
so you would be a
pre-dead corpse, as you merely haven't
died yet, but can be charactarized by a
descriptor that otherwise applies beyond
your current developmental stage, just as
you are suggesting that we do for the
fetus.

No! The word "corpse" implies death!

Yes, I suppose you could refer to a living
body as a pre-dead corpse, since all
living bodies do seem to eventually come
to an end. Ironically (?) a fetus is
both pre-born and pre-dead...

just like the word "baby"
implies post-birth. If you fudge one,
you can fudge the other. So you are a
pre-dead corpse per your own vocabulary.
