Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34139889 Sperm is just like any other cell of the body - all of which are alive. Once it has left the protective environment of your body - it lives off a reserved amount of energy - and dies briefly after. That makes sense! So what about the egg? |

Once it has left the protective environment of your body - it lives off a reserved amount of energy - and dies briefly after. That makes sense! So what about the egg? It's the same - Egg cells are alive. Even in the medical dictionary you will read the words "Alive" when they are describing the fertilization AND pre-fertilization of egg cells. Another way to look at it - In order to keep egg cells "alive" we must freeze them to slow down the amount of energy used. |

It's not 'human' life though - it's cellular - think on the same level as bacteria - single job - single purpose - single action It does one thing - one thing only - no chaos. It's not the type of life that at this point in time we care to protect or think is complex enough to believe it has any sort of awareness. |
