IVF uses ova from the woman, sometimes frozen for storage, and sperm from a man, sometimes frozen for storage. They are warmed, mixed and put into a waiting uterus.
What about unused ova?
What about unused sperm?
An ovum and sperm are human haploid cells or gametes (sex cells). Haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes in each cell. Most higher organisms are diploid that is, they have two sets but their gametes (sex cells) are haploid.
Since each only contain 23 chromosomes, half of the 46 needed to be considered a human, neither is a human.
my thought on the matter
