The fetus has what it needs. It's just that those parts aren't working correctly yet, but they will in the future... like the adults. The fetus gets what it needs through a tube just as some adults are fed from a feeding tube or breathe from a respirator which pumps air into them.

Even a fetus taken out at 24 weeks can survive on life support just like an older adult. Delivery is irrelevant.
