I would put it before that.
We should, and most do, associate life with the brain. Its not considered murder to pull the plug on someone who is brain dead, nor are other body parts (leg, arm, stomach, heart) considered part of life when since they can be removed or replaced. Thus, I think it makes sense to say that a baby is alive sometime after its brain develops.
