"Egg rights"? Crazy. Gametes are different from zygotes because gametes are not on a developmental trajectory to grow their own cells, tissues, organs, and systems, and zygotes are on such a trajectory.

That's why referring to a zygote as a "fertilized egg" is misleading. It's as misleading as calling a Supreme Court Justice a naked ape.

That all depends on which justice you are referring to!
