I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say. You're hyper-fixating on the exact modern definition of a specific word.
There absolutely is no ambiguity when talking about a person. You are either alive or not. Yes it's possible to resuscitate someone after "clinical death", but even that is well understood. Clinical death is the absence of vitals (heart beat, sinus rhythm, etc). And we also understand that as long as cellular respiration is occurring at the molecular level, the body hasn't gone past the point of no return. However, once brain death or cellular death has occurred, it's over. We understand all of this. We also understand that even with modern medical knowledge there's nothing we can do past a certain point even in the most ideal conditions. And ideal conditions would be in a hospital bed surrounded by medical experts. We understand there is a hard line between "alive" and "not alive".
Except that even harming a woman who is pregnant, even accidentally, causing a miscarriage is considered punishable by death in the Mosaic Law. "A life for a life". So no, you're wrong.
I'm very foggy on what you're trying to say here. But if I have the gist of it, you're asking if the writer of a Bible book could have misinterpreted an angel and wrote the wrong thing down. And then later on someone incorrectly translated the writings so that the 2nd language people "think a fetus is a person" and take it as a test of faith to mandate it into law?
Did I get that right?
