gollark: Imagine *not* continuing arbitrary internet arguments literally forever.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Even in a "natural" situation.
gollark: It doesn't matter. What I'm trying to get at here is that I don't see why you privilege the actual point at which an egg becomes fertilized that much, if your argument is just about potential to become another thing, since almost identical potential exists immediately before that.
gollark: Again, why? Before an egg is fertilized, there must necessarily exist some point at which it wasn't yet but that was likely to happen soon.
