That is a terrible thing to say! It is the equivalent of comparing a human soul to a tapeworm or a flea. God produce the last two for an ineffable reason but a fetus is there to become a Christian Soldier, much in the same way that our lives are to be spent preparing for death and the Life Hereafter.
(And I don't know about you, but my kids were still entirely dependent upon the Bathfire billions until they were 21 and could become directors of some subsidiary businesses.)
