Is the human fetus a parasite according to science?

again, the topic is this:

THIS IS SCIENCE:

If one wants to justify abortion, something must have gone wrong while one was a fetus. Quite understandable, I suppose.SolidSnake35

The only problem with human parasite's and fetus' is...

After all that science and debate, you have to unwind with a slice or two of pizza :)


(how about that for getting us back on to the TRUE topic of this thread lol)

I haven't had pizza from Pizza Hut in years. I worked at one when I was in school, now I'm craving a greasy pan pizza!

Pizza thread made me hungry!

I am confused, is this a sodomy promotion thread?

Why the hell is this thread still alive?

I didn't even read it, but why the hell is it!

Its about sodomy either before or after pizza.

Dominos or Pizza hut?

that picture is nasty.

All human beings are parasites, mannnnnnnnnnnn.

MarioRPGer

I heard that we were a virus from this guy.

Then any fetus/egg is a parasite to some degree. Most organisms are parasites by the definition the op gave.shakmaster13

No deal, the hot cheese would melt Spiderman's web. Spidey would get so exhausted trying to web him he'd end up getting hungry and Pizza would offer him a slice of poisoned pizza. Check and Mate!

They become parasites later on, when they turn 20 and still live off your money, use your food and internet and take up space in your house 'cause they're lazy sacks of shìt.

I think most people who are calling a fetus a parasite are missing the point. Even if it is technically a parasite, it's a parasite that was created by you.

No. That's just a bunch of radical-feminist hate speech directed at children. A parasite is a different species than it's host and is usually harmful to that host. A fetus/baby is of the same species, usually is not harmful, and ultimately benefits its mother (emotionally, as well as caring for her in her old age).

Either way a parasite is harmful to the host and does not benefit it. A fetus/child is not harmful to its mother and does benefit her.

this is what i saw on yahoo answers: THIS IS SCIENCE: FETUS IS NOT A BABY (GOOGLE THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CHART), but a parasite because the classification of the biological relationship that is based on the behavior one organism (fetus) and how it relates to the woman's body. as a zygote, it invaded the woman's uterus using its TROPHOBLAST cells, hijacked her immune system by using NEUROKININ B and HCG--- so her body doesn't kill it, steals her nutrients to survive, and causes her harm or potential death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophoblast "The placenta functions as an immunological barrier between the mother and the fetus, creating an immunologically privileged site. For this purpose, it uses several mechanisms: It secretes Neurokinin B containing phosphocholine molecules. This is the same mechanism used by parasitic nematodes to avoid detection by the immune system of their host.[2]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_tolerance_in_pregnancy "Progesterone enriches the uterus with a thick lining of blood vessels and capillaries so that it can sustain the growing fetus. Due to its highly-negative charge, hCG may repel the immune cells of the mother, protecting the fetus during the first trimester. It has also been hypothesized that hCG may be a placental link for the development of local maternal immunotolerance." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_chorionic_gonadotropin "It is also possible for a symbiotic relationship to exist between two organisms of the same species." http://www.answers.com/topic/symbiosis -- Gale's Science of Everyday Things. just like a parasitic twin --- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_twin "an animal or plant that lives in or on another (the host) from which it obtains nourishment. The host does not benefit from the association and is often harmed by it" http://www.thefreedictionary.com/parasite pregnancy CAUSES HARM: http://www.thelizlibrary.org/liz/004.htm THE BIBLE: the bible supported abortion, that was done by a priest, in god's name, in his holly temple! the 1984 NIV footnote of numbers 5:11-31 explained what "to thy thigh to rot, they belly to swell" meant: numbers 5:21 "or causes you to have a miscarrying womb and barrenness" to CAUSE a miscarrying womb IS an abortion. 'Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer." Give them, O LORD -- what wilt Thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts...Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.' HOSEA 9-16 the judeo-christian god is a myth and historical evidence proves it. 3.3.3 ATHEISM: A HISTORY OF GOD (Part 1) http://www.evilbible.com/god http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/abortion.html THIS IS THE LAW: ABORTION IS A CIVIL AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT SUPPORTED BY THE RIGHTS TO PRIVACY, THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT, AND THE 13TH AMENDMENT. NO HUMAN ( that means the FETUS, too) has a right to life or any due process rights by the 14th amendment to use another human's body or body parts AGAINST their will, civil and constitutional rights: that's why you are not forced to donate your kidney---the human fetus is no exception; this is supported by the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment AND 13th amendment, which makes reproductive slavery unconstitutional. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Protection_Clause "Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution this makes viability unconstitutional because pregnancy is not a crime. consensual sex=/= a legal, binding contract to an unwanted fetus to live; and abortion is not murder, the unlawful killing with intent.galerouth

what is the point of all this writing? What does slavery or the Constitution have to do with whether a fetus (the question says "human fetus" but that is stupid, if a human fetus is a parasite so too is any other fetus or any other species) is a parasite "according to science".

[QUOTE="galerouth"][QUOTE="whipassmt"] cancer isa disease/medical condition, a fetus is an organism. Cancer is when a bunch of your body cells (due to genetic mutation caused by various things such a chemicals, UV light or certain viruses) divide in non-normal manner and do not work in the way they are supposed to. Pregnancy is something totally different.

[QUOTE="galerouth"] you missed the point. he said that a fetus is a part of you, then i added so is cancer...so the emotional bullscrap is moot.galerouth

I can't believe this thread is still alive.

[QUOTE="galerouth"][QUOTE="whipassmt"] I would have to disagree with him. A fetus is not a part of its mother, it is an organism all on its own. Cancer(or more accurately cancer tissue, or tumors)however, as I said above, is a part of the person, not an organism of its own accord.
