Is a child's leg a person?  It meets all your criteria.  If we have to remove a child's leg to save his life, should we be able to or is that murder?

Is there any chance of a leg developing a consciousness for the future? No. That's the difference between a leg and a fetus

That's a different argument.  So lets go with a different example.  My sperm can potentially develop consciousness.  Each and every one of them.  Do they deserve the same protection as a fetus?

How does that meet his criteria?

How does it not?  The criteria was alive, moving, growing, with human DNA.  A functional leg can move, grows, has human DNA, and is definitely alive.
