A foetus is life, but that's irrelevant morally. Ants are life. But who cares? Nobody, because life is not the defining factor of this moral argument. The ability to think and feel pain is, at least for me. But superseding that is the fact that the foetus is forcefully living off of the mother, as I keep saying.
As for bacteria on Mars, my guess is that scientists are interested for the sake of science, not some pseudo-moral quest like you seem to perceive it as.
