Fetus question

Is fetus, technically, a parasite?

Dr. House (on the Fox TV show with the same name) often refers to new fetuses in his unsuspecting patients as parasites. He had a whole monologue with one on how people grow to love their parasites, often naming them and dressing them up in clothes. I thought it was funny because each time he mentions "parasite," his patients get all bent out of shape.
