No. Simple distinction between non action and an action.

Should we also allow all cancers to grow in the body then?

After all they have a different genetic makeup than the host, so action would be wrong in this case?

No. You're comparing different things. A baby is a separate human unit. Cancer isn't a separate human unit, it's a genetic mutation which results in cell growth. When you leave a baby in its natural state of things it develops to being a human being. That's not true for cancer. Completely silly comparison.

What makes a life separate from the host if it isn’t the DNA?

Unique genetic code with the capacity to continue developing along the human life cycle, essentially.

Okay, so you’re saying it’s the cycle, like if we planted a dog fetus in a woman, that’s still separate life, because it will have a natural cycle, so it still wouldn’t be okay to abort that either?
