A biological parasite, huh? It is absolutely, completely, and totally disgusting that you would call a human being a biological parasite. I doubt most of your fellow lefties who support abortion would agree with you on that.
A fetus is a biological parasite at that stage because it is wholly dependant on its host for survival. The fetus cannot survive outside of the uterus until the 3rd trimester at which case it becomes medically viable as an independent person.
Biology is cool.
Parasite: A plant or an animal organism that lives in or on another and takes its nourishment from that other organism.
Definition of Parasite
It may be concluded, therefore, that on a low plane of nutrition, the foetus lives as a parasite, the tissues of the foetus having a prior claim on the nutrients circulating in the maternal blood stream. Of the mechanisms involved in this relationship, nothing is known, although.
