What are you babbling about? Aren't you the one who used the "parasite" analogy? I'm the one who has been refuting that wrong headed position.

You lost all credibility when you compared a human being to a wart (virus). Go away.

Uh huh. I suggest you answer the question put to you. You are the one who supplied the definitions. If the baby is not a parasite, than it is not a different organism, according to the definition you supplied. That means it is part of the mother's body, does it not? Which is it, is it a part of the mother's body, or is it not? If it is a sovereign entity with rights, as distinct from the mother, why doesn't that make it a "different" organic entity, and therefore, a parasite off your definition?

You could either answer, or you could admit that definition-baiting is pointless, and find a real argument.
