Aparantly your biology class wasn't a very good one. A parasite does not have the requirement of being in a different species. All that is required for an organism to be a parasite is that it reside within another organism, that it recieve nutrients from that organism, and that it contribute nothing to the health of the organism in which it is living. A fetus IS a biological parasite and doesn't need to be of a different species to be one. A fetus is NOT an unborn baby. There is no such thing as an unborn baby, a preborn human, etc. You can't be any of these things until after you're born. --- In [email protected], "David Macko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I thought that we all learned in ninth grade Biology that a biological > parasite is always, by definition of a separate species from its host. > I guess not. > Unless you have good reason to believe that an unborn child is an > alien or Rosemary's Baby it is not a parasite, biologically. > > For life and liberty, > David Macko > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 10:49 PM > Subject: [Libertarian] Re: Libertarians for Life > > > > Human DNA does not equate to human life.
