The Zuckerberg baby

I've been watching the hype about the Zuckerbergs' pregnancy and their previous miscarriages. I'm having trouble with the value system that says it is a baby in the womb when the parents desire it, but a parasite and clump of cells when they don't. Who gets to decide that? The same people who say Cecil the Lion is worth more than a race horse that breaks its leg and is put down, or dog that doesn't meet breed specs for its size so it is destroyed, or aborted baby parts for sale.
