The poster is either confused or playing the fool regarding the difference between an organ and an organism. Sperm and ova are sub-units of organs within an organism. A zygote is an organism, as is the 'thing' through every phase of the organismal existence begun at conception (the union of sperm and ovum when it results in a zygote).

The poster is either confused or playing the fool regarding the difference between an organ and an organism. Seems that way, MHGinTN. Then again, maybe it was a "trick question." :^)
Thanks so much for providing the important details!

I suggest you go back and read Sopater's post and my response. Sopater is the one claiming science cannot define a point where life starts.
