So egg cells and sperm are not part of the cycle of human life? Makes telling kids about sex easier, I guess. "Don't worry about the sex thing.

So egg cells and sperm are not part of the cycle of human life? That's evidently what the biologists say. Quote Makes telling kids about sex easier, I guess. "Don't worry about the sex thing. Sex isn't part of it; you really only have to worry about conception." Way to COMPLETELY mis-respresent the argument, Bill. But while you're on the subject, maybe you can enlighten us mere mortals what a sperm cell or an egg cell develop into on their own?

Same thing a zygote develops into on its own - nothing. Now, add a uterus and you have the potential for human life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, substitute uterus for petri dish, then - kindly show what a solitary egg or sperm is going to develop into.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Like I said, an egg without a sperm has as much chance to develop into a human as a zygote without a uterus. If you claim that sperm + egg are not a potential life unless they are combined, fine. But you then have to accept that the same is true of zygote + uterus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
