Parasitically attached eh. That's lovely language.It's more like the instant it stops being parasitically attached to another person and putting their life in danger is when that person's right to bodily autonomy stops overulling the right of a fetus to exist (not that a fetus should have any rights). Tho like I said above I personally think with FUBAR potato babies who will never have any quality of life even when they're out of another person's body they should be given palliative care only. It's cruel and a waste of resources to try and prolong the existence of something incompatible with life.
A baby does depend on it's mother or some caretaker for a number of years. The human child continues to be parasitic in nature to it's family for many years in terms of food, housing, and development. A child is wholly dependent on it's family and society in general until it can produce something of value. Usually after they get educated after over two decades nowadays.
I tend to agree with your assessment of FUBAR babies, but I find it hard to determine when a baby is FUBAR in the same way I find it hard to determine when a human fetus/baby/child becomes a person and attains some sort of rights.
