You asked for a difference, and there is a massive genetic difference. And there is a considerable amount of difference between a dog and a human than there is between two buildings. Parasites and humans aren't mutually exclusive. You can be a parasite and be human at the same time (blood transfusion, for example). Even if that weren't the case, so what? I would disallow anything that would kill or harm the fetus, of course, just as I would for disallow an actions committed by one person that would kill or harm another. If that's what you mean by controlling the body, then what's the problem? Should we allow people to go running around spraying bullets into buildings because we would be "controlling their bodies" otherwise? Are they slaves to everyone else because that can't fulfill that particular whim?

See, now you are saying that if there's a parasite in you we get to control your body, simply put. I'm just purely looking at it from an Act Utilitarianism point of view. Meaning which will produce the greatest happiness in the most people. While the abortion won't necessarily cause happiness to the woman it certainly would prevent grief. On the other hand you have something that doesn't even feel ANYTHING, muchless happiness. Here you are telling me that the government should control just about every action of a woman when she is pregnant for some stupid parasite that won't even feel it if it got hit with a hammer in the zygote.
