if a fertilized egg never enters a female, it will never result in a born baby, or 9 months of development
But it wont last because there is nothing to nurture it.
wait, so people with an extra chromosome are not human?
rip everyone with Aneuploidy.
Never heard of a person with 47 chromosomes
seriously? never heard of people with an extra X?
Klinefelter syndrome
Well I wont say I'm not shocked
abnormal, sure
Well fine maybe my exact definition is not as accurate as something else
same reason we can't require having x arms or legs as people sometimes don't. but we still count them as human
But that fertilized egg has it's own unique set of dna
Completely separate from whatever entity's created it
So its life
incorrect. it has half and half.
or in the case of incest, it can be a clone
rare and require mother son or father daughter
but can be
I mean sure.
Be those parents the same person or not
And its unlikely to be an exact clone
unlikely, but if it was, would it not have life?
obviously not but why?
So unlikely that it's on the scale of impossible
not really
Babies constantly mutate in minor ways
if you have a daughter, half her DNA is from her father. There is probably closer to a 1/4 chance of any give egg being the same set of dna the egg that made her was
But DNA mutates often
In reproductive cells
The chances are closer to 1/1000000
And agian that really doesn't change my point
if that was the case, then genetic diseases would have a much lower chance of being passed on than they do
Just becuase it can't grow to be old does not mean that the cell is itself dead
but this is all off topic
The cell lives for a time
yes, but thats part of the problem.
So, if you remove a sperm cell or fertilized egg cell from a female, it will not live to 9 months
agreed?
same goes for a zygote, which is like fertilized egg 2.0
