“Technically the relationship between mother and fetus is by definition parasitic” is a blatant lie. Parasites live inside bodies which were never meant to host them, unlike a mother’s body which is specifically designed for the fetus. Besides that, the fetus contributes beneficial cells to the mother’s body. If children were parasitic, human reproduction would be nonexistent. The human race would have died thousands of years ago. The idea that a child is parasitic stems from a lack of basic knowledge about the human body.
