I am talking pure biological science and theory.

Irrelevant, this is not a biology classroom, it is a moral argument; unless you are ready to show how being a parasite deprives or enhances your entitlement to legal protections in a particular case, you are just avoiding the crux of the issue. Why is a bank robber not a parasite?

A fetus isn't a parasite because it's in a parent-child relationship with the mother (biologically speaking, not mentally/emotionally speaking). A simular relationship is a symbiotic relationship.

It is irrelevant to moral argument, I agree completely.

But your initial comment was specifically about the biological perspective:

The fetus qualifies as a parasite in every appreciable biological way if it is unwanted.

You cannot even remember what you say from post to post.
