From merriam webster dot com: parasite One entry found for parasite. Main Entry: par·a·site Pronunciation: 'per-&-"sIt, 'pa-r&- Function: noun Etymology: Middle French, from Latin parasitus, from Greek parasitos, from para- + sitos grain, food 1 : a person who exploits the hospitality of the rich and earns welcome by flattery 2 : an organism living in, with, or on another organism in parasitism 3 : something that resembles a biological parasite in dependence on something else for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return
Jessica is dead on here, though tax evaders/collectors depends on whether you consider the host organism to be the individual or the state. Fetuses fit the definition very well though. The title says it all, the point here is that none of these things are inherently good or bad but they depend on others for their survival. And yes Anon. the "victims" (hosts) may be of the same species as the parasite.
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others.
I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Wont agree with the fetuses part of it. but the rest is on...
That graph is sooo true!
I can totally relate. I too, am a parasitic creature.
"Tax evaders" should be "Tax collectors". ;)

You forgot
tools. They suck at the life of our society.
Gosh! fetuses? I guess old bag regrets to have kids!!!
That made me laugh.
opps...tax EVADERS?
If you don't think the 'fetus' part is funny and/or true, you are obviously not pregnant right now.
34 weeks and counting.
the victims cannot be the same species to be considered parasitic
