Subject: Re: Frozen embryos are children!
What was your point? That an embryo is not a baby, but can become one?
My point is an embryo is a human life.

“Where does conception occur?
Sperm usually fertilizes the egg in the fallopian tube. This is a pathway from the ovary to a woman’s uterus.
An egg takes about 30 hours to travel from the ovary down the fallopian tube, according to the University of California San Francisco.
As the egg travels down the fallopian tube, it lodges in a specific portion called the ampullar-isthmic junction. It’s here that sperm usually fertilize the egg.
If the egg is fertilized, it will usually rapidly travel into the uterus and implant. Doctors call the fertilized egg an embryo.”

“Embryos are whole human beings, at the early stage of their maturation. The term 'embryo', similar to the terms 'infant' and 'adolescent', refers to a determinate and enduring organism at a particular stage of development.”
“Conception occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg found in the fallopian tube, creating a zygote that can eventually become an embryo.”
A. Basic human embryological facts
:To begin with, scientifically something very radical occurs between the processes of gametogenesis and fertilization�the change from a simple part of one human being (i.e., a sperm) and a simple part of another human being (i.e., an oocyte�usually referred to as an "ovum" or "egg"), which simply possess "human life", to a new, genetically unique, newly existing, individual, whole living human being (a single-cell embryonic human zygote). That is, upon fertilization, parts of human beings have actually been transformed into something very different from what they were before; they have been changed into a single, whole human being. During the process of fertilization, the sperm and the oocyte cease to exist as such, and a new human being is produced.:
