47. Actually if
left on it's own the unfertilized egg will pass with the menstral cycle, likewise left on it's own the sperm will (if ejaculated into the woman during intercourse) die and pass with the cycle also, but if the egg and sperm meet they do create a new life. It probably has a lower chance of making it to the uterus and implanting than we all realize.

IMO it is a case of the most basic of cells that make life, and when they meet it's a miracle in the works. The cells are from a living man and a living woman..so in a sense they are alive, but not a life unto themself. All a sperms function is is to find that egg and inseminate, all the eggs function is is to be there to receive the sperm... the odds of that happening are great, but when they do it is a new life. (To me anyway..)

Again what you were saying with the millions of blastocysts thing is nature taking it's course, not the unnatural process of abortion, they are not the same.
