a teratoma or a cancer isn't a parasite, but a fetus in fetu or aforementioned should generally be removed if they impact the wellbeing of the host significantly.
Just because a fetus is typically confined to a uterus doesn't mean, on a technical level, it's any different.
Now, one has the chance to become an independent human being, while all the others are neoplasms with a degree of altered copy numbers or some wide divergence at a genomic level. You'd be hard-pressed to call even a fetus in fetu teratoma a human being, unlike even the most fucked up child on the basis of genome alone.

>Is a fetus considered a parasite?
Etymologically no, not a different species
>Is it technically parasitic like a tumor?
Yes
>Is it a tumor?
Hell no, even cystic teratomas of malformed fetuses rapidly degenerate their own DNA as the immune system fights it's growth
