HURRAY - Production has Begun
I just received word for Brian, our MA at Tate MINI, that our new car began production this morning and should be here in 3 to 4 weeks... The waiting is killing us but at least we finally have begun.

While I agree your statement was scientifically correct, I would also argue that the stigma associated with the vast majority of parasitic organisms shouldn't be attached to a human fetus, especially since the existence of the fetus is a voluntary choice by the mother. She chooses to have the baby and allow it to grow inside her.
Not to mention that it's a two-way "benefit"... the mother (in most cases) gains an enormous amount of very positive emotional attachment to the child, which she (usually) thoroughly enjoys... so it's not simply a matter of "expense" to the mother.
Side note... this has gotten WAY off-topic! Now to attempt to correct:
