The definition of a person is a human being regarded as an individual. So if you regard a fetus as an individual then it's a person.
I don't regard a fetus as an individual until it can physically survive without a host. ymmv A goldfish is not a person because it is not a human being. The rest of your questions are also answered by the definition of the term.
