Is this a pointless question or what?

Did you read the article first or not?

Yeah, I read it. References to silly hypothetical comparisons are moot. A homosapien fetus is the most wonderful and precious entity in our known universe. Whether its existance was invited or forced, a human fetus is never an intruder. And it certainly isn't a parasite by definition - n. 1. An often harmful organism that lives on or in a different organism.

If anything, a fetus is the natural result of 2 biological components fullfilling their purpose - an extension of the organism, if you will. Besides, the fetus didn't ask or attempt to nurture off the human body "host". The "host" was either forced or willingly accepted the missing component to create the fetus.
