    It has separate DNA, separate blood and circulatory system, separate heart, brain, and other organs and can be removed and continue to live. If it were part of her body, none of those would be true.

    Kind of true. A foetus uses a womans body in order for it to grow, sort of like a host body.

    Wrong. Part of a woman's body until the instant of birth. Looking at it any other way allows society to intrude into a woman's body, which is ethically reprehensible. +4

    I would change that statement to, "A fetus is the worst parasitic entity a woman can be infected with. However, it is never actually a "part" of the woman's own body."
