Day 1--Fertilization Check

Early in the morning, the eggs are checked for signs of fertilization. At this time, normally fertilized eggs will have 2 nuclei in the center, one from the egg and one from the sperm. (as shown below)

 

Any number of nuclei greater or lesser than 2 indicates abnormal fertilization. Normally fertilized eggs are now considered to be embryos, and are separated from the unfertilized and abnormally fertilized eggs.

I know when I took Embryology, Cellular Biology, and Comparative Anatomy the term fertilized egg was acceptable.

Yes. It is used throughout literature, but has been frequently misused as a politicized phrase meant to dehumanize the unborn; much the same way the secular humanists redefined the beginning of pregnancy from the moment of conception to several days later at implantation. It is semantic gymnastics.

There is no such thing as a fertilized egg; there is a unique human being who results from the union of sperm and egg. (2) Conception is the same as fertilization, and when it occurs, pregnancy has begun. (Reading: "Emergency Contraception,"http://www.owt.com/ppcw/mornaftr.html)
