But the fetus starts as one cell (possibly a stowaway from a burst or failed contraceptive method). It isn't happy being one cell, it wants to be billions. The fetus says "Hey, feed me, my wife and children and grand children for the entire voyage of 21 years". At the very least, you can stop the stowaway from reproducing or insisting on side trips to pick up more relatives. The fetus would not be a stowaway do to a failed contraceptive method. A stowaway puts him or herself in the situation of being on the boat. The parents put the fetus in its situation they may have tried to reduce the risk but that does not absolve them of the responsibility any more then using a condom means that a man does not have to pay child support for a kid he didn't want. The fetus develops from one cell. When that one cell becomes two the 2nd cell is not its child its the same organism becoming larger, when it becomes billions it is still the same organism. To say that it can't grow would be like trying to feed children on the hypothetical boat such a little amount of food that they can't grow. Tim
