That's unfortunate—people who do not care about language generally cannot make good arguments. They also run the risk of becoming secluded in their own ideas since their access to the intellectual world around them is impoverished. Words and sentences are the tools we use to establish propositions—learn to value them.

Funny your "supposedly" superior grasp of language has not helped your arguments in the slightest nor has your semantic games

Neo's being disingenuous again as well. He made a poor argument. When it's pointed out that it's a poor argument, instead of making a better one, he accuses others of being grammar trolls.
Neo, unless you meant something your words utterly failed to convey, your argument is either that zygotes = human organisms, or that we should afford rights to potential humans. Which is it?!? Yup yet more tap dancing

The term host likewise requires a symbiotic relationship between separate species. But let me guess, you just meant "like a host."

Kleptoparasitism may be intraspecific (the parasite is the same species as the victim) or interspecific (the parasite is a different species). In the latter case, the parasites are commonly close relatives of the organisms they parasitize ("Emery's Rule").

Then there are those who try to enforce a particular meaning (to the exclusion of any others), and ignore any modifiers to grant their arguments the illusion of relevancy. It is you who should learn to value, not only the words, but all their meanings and modifications. Not simply fixate on a singular meaning to "argue" a point. That is a semantic game and unworthy of anyone attempting to communicate reasonably. Then again, considering the source...

Nope, the host is anything that being feed on. Whether the same species or not. The act of the embryo is parasitic.
But nice try

You ignore the etymology of the word, yet chide others to value words.
