I think that's only because the word 'parasite' has negative connotations...like the word 'prostitute'.

A Gestating Woman is providing a Host environment and is in a purely "parasitic relationship" with Her Fetus...it REQUIRES the Woman's HeartBeat and Blood Supply to continue development...there's no way around it!

However, this does not mean that it is necessarily a malefic relationship...most Gestating Women have CHOSEN to provide life support for the Fetus...to be in that natural parasitic relationship with the Fetus.

Let's not fool ourselves though, Gestation is not 'symbiotic'.
