Please link me to a "verified scientist" who believes the things you do about human embryos. I'll wait.

Edit-- Or just downvote me like the anti-intellectual and anti-science coward that you are.

Edit 2-- Here's a quote from Human Embryology & Teratology:

>Although life is a continuous process, fertilization is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new, genetically distinct human organism is thereby formed.... The combination of 23 chromosomes present in each pronucleus results in 46 chromosomes in the zygote. Thus the diploid number is restored and the embryonic genome is formed. The embryo now exists as a genetic unity.

Maybe the authors of that textbook are just anti-science anti-choice zealots who hate women and simply want to impose their religious views on you. But wait, here's another one. This is a quote from Before We Are Born: Essentials of Human Embryology and Birth Defects:

>Human development begins after the union of male and female gametes or germ cells during a process known as fertilization (conception).

The author of that text goes on:

>Fertilization is a sequence of events that begins with the contact of a sperm (spermatozoon) with a secondary oocyte (ovum) and ends with the fusion of their pronuclei (the haploid nuclei of the sperm and ovum) and the mingling of their chromosomes to form a new cell. This fertilized ovum, known as a zygote, is a large diploid cell that is the beginning, or primordium, of a human being.

But, y'know, I'm sure you know better than them.
