In most cases that life you speak of only shares DNA with us , little else. Despite people like you believing there's a " child " in there. If a took a 4 week old fetus to any Texas Congress member and told them it was a rare species of salamander that needed protection , I would bet none of them would recognize it as a " child ". Also I'm certain few would want to protect it even though I portrayed it as endangered. The human race is not endangered, quite the opposite ; we are the greatest threat to ALL life on this planet.You aren't listening, it involves something someone sees as an unique life, something worthy of protection, not a mole or a bad appendix.
