Illegal Beings: Human Clones
The majority of women's potential eggs face a fatal outcome
libfemme ( 10/12/2003, 13:48:27 )A 20-week-old female fetus has around 7 million potential egg cells, or oocytes, in her developing ovaries. By birth this number has dropped to 1 million, and by puberty it is a mere 300,000. Researchers think the body puts in a quality control check to screen out bad eggs. This ensures that genetic faults are not passed on.In other words it is natural for there to be many times more eggs produced then can be expected to turn into fetuses. When eggs fail to develop into embryo during IVF procedures it is the same egg that was slated to die inside the woman also.The eggs that are imperfect, and there are many more eggs that are imperfect than are perfect, die regardless of whether they are in the fallopian tube or have been set in a petri dish.It is just that when an egg dies inside a woman we don't see it and can't count it. When it dies in a petri dish we can see it.
