Professor labels fetus a 'legitimate parasite,' compares it to cancer

Hmm... I’ve never seen a parasite that loves its host, has a lifelong relationship with it’s host, regardless of leaving physical contact behind, and who cares for the host in her old age and mourns her passing.

[Secret Agent Man]

Tenured professors are legitimate parasites.

[robel]

The Lefts obsession with pushing abortion seems to be causing them to go mad.

[Crucial]

If this professor was once a parasite, when exactly did it stop being a parasite?

[The Great RJ]

I recently went to my daughter’s ultrasound and saw my soon to be born grandson. No one could see this ultrasound and deny that what they were seeing was not a human being.

[Kozak]

I would say he still is a parasite.

[a fool in paradise]

Quack failed biology

[metmom]

The level of demonic deception running rampant in some folks is breath-taking.

[American in Israel]

What you say is true, and it is why God made Hell. In the future we will not have to co exist with liberals.

[tet68]

Americans, an extinct race, made so by the propensity
of it’s females to kill their own offspring.

Abortion is plainly genocide, 60,000,000 killed.
Remember too that they were all potential tax payers
and generators of wealth. Sad to contemplate.

If you want to get technical, a nursing infant is a parasite, too. That is, a nursing infant derives all nutrition from the living body of another organism.

So the "slippery slope" is built into the argument from the start.

But it's not a slippery slope, it's a staircase with each step deliberately taken.

[grey_whiskers]

Sod off, moron.
WTF do you think breasts are for, besides for you to jerk off over?

[Salman]

You are thoroughly missing the point I'm making about the professor's argument.

And you call *me* a moron?

[grey_whiskers]

Consider your first sentence, about parasites.
Since the female has organs pre-existing which activate only during pregnancy, to feed the baby *after* birth; and pregnancy only results, based on a combination of the woman’s physiological state and her actions (which are not incidental, like walking through tall brush to acquire deer ticks), that pretty much destroys any idea of the fetus as parasite.
