"An unimplanted zygote is dead. It is not going anyplace."

No, it's not dead until it's dead. You know, when cellular function stops and it can no longer implant.

A zygote doesn't transition from death to life at implantation. Unless you are claiming that implantation is really abiogenesis in action?

I am not claiming anything of the sort.

I am simply pointing out the fact that the continuation of life as an entire being STOPS at the moment implantation does not occur.

I am also pointing out that your heart can stop beating and you be declared dead, but that the cells in some of your organs are still viable and living and can be transplanted to others.
