Investigators have questioned a young woman they suspect gave birth to a fetus found in a restroom on a Continental Airlines plane after it landed in Houston, police said Monday.Here's a hint:
- The unborn young of a viviparous vertebrate having a basic structural resemblance to the adult animal.
- In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after conception to the moment of birth, as distinguished from the earlier embryo.
You cannot give birth to a fetus. You can miscarry a fetus, and you can give birth to a child, but the word "fetus" refers to the unborn young.
There actually is a difference between a fetus and a child, AP folks. It's probably even in your own style guide. Just a friendly reminder.
