Well I think a zygote is considered a living individual.Originally Posted by kalinka_vinnie
Is it alive? Of course it is. The sperm (hehe, god im immature) is alive. The egg is alive. There is life througout.
Is it an individual? Of course. 23 chromosomes from mommy, 23 from daddy. It's not quite mommy, and it's not quite daddy. It's something...else...something...unique.
Sure, it's living inside of mom, but a separate entity all the same.
