My first explanation might be: Because their umbilical cords have
been cut and they now do not have to live directly off the
mother's nutrients. That might be the most obvious answer, but I
also agree with your definitions.

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

In some societies infanticide is NOT considered to be murder. If
you
believe that to be wrong, explain why you believe human infants
have
a right to life if there is no actual person freely willing to
provide support to that individual.
It's been my experience that an occasional kick in the ass may
remove
some heads far enough to see beyond their own shit :)
