I think a way of looking at it is a human that is not yet conscious. Like, abortion, sorry to bring it into this, is just killing an unconscious person in my mind. If someone killed you while you were unconscious it'd suck but you'd have no way of knowing you died unless there is some sort of afterlife.
So, yes. I do think it is a person.

Or think of it like killing a brain dead person.
