Well, it stands to reason that the vast majority of four-and-a-half year olds were expelled from the body at some point...

And the last time you saw an "expelled" blastocyst riding a bicycle?

But, of course, my point was that a blastocyst is a certain stage in human development, just as a four-and-a-half year old is a certain stage in human development. Surely, you would agree...

Ahhh. No equivalency intended. Just a rather mundane observation that there is a lot of biological "stuff" that happens in human reproduction and maturation. Thus, an immature spermatogonia is a "certain stage in human development" just as a 25-year old is a "certain stage in human development." Profound.

I am going to assume that your characterization of that statement as profound is sarcastic. Which means you fundamentally misunderstand the point.

No problem. Go about your merry way. Don't let me bother you.

Are you implying that metaphysically, a gamete is the same kind of being as a 25-year old?

Cordially,
