Not necessarily.

Carrying a fetus is the literal purpose of an organism

It is AN organism that lives on ir in a host organism and gets its food from or at expense of the host.

Oh get the fuck out of here

Yes, a fetus is part of reproduction and usually desired.

But it is by definition a parasite.

🤔

No, you're just being pedantic for the sake of an anti-natalist narrative

Wrong.

I'm being pedantic for the sake of being a dick.

`In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life.`

Between species

Libtard begone

You're widening the Definition of a word in order to encompass a parallel phenomenon in order to win an argument

Does not say they have to be necessarily different species.

I'm not widening the definition at all. The definition of a parasite is based on function. A fetus is functionally a parasite.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

No, it is functionally a fetus

That is true.

And a fetus is functionally a parasite.

That doesn't mean it's bad.

You're diluting the concept to an overly simplistic one

Not at all.

Believe whatever you want, you're wrong.

I'm out. Tired of your shit.

There is no NEED to call a fetus a parasite, other than to be pedantic and be anti-natalist

@Grodd `The dictionary definition of a parasite is:

"An organism that lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.

`

A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host.

@Ondsinet I'm not even going off of the dictionary at this point.

Everyone knows what a parasite is

And everyone knows what a fetus is

Yes, and a fetus is a parasite.

You don't have to like it.

@Ondsinet I mean a fetus would fit in those definitions

Conflating the two does nothing except cause arguments

@Fitzydog science has very specific terms and definition so

A fetus fulfills EVERY criteria of a parasite.

@Capitán Alatriste different species

I'm not making a moral argument.

@Ondsinet He's conflating the two just to make us argue

Cause he's a fucking kike
