The spermatozoa and the ovum.

[FearGod]

Are they regarded a living matter or non living matter?

 

[George-ananda]

I'll go with 'living'.

 

[columbus]

Living.
No questions about it. Why do you ask?
Tom

 

[FearGod]

Living.
No questions about it. Why do you ask?
Tom

I'll go with 'living'.

Does the sperm grow and multiply?

 

[columbus]

Does the sperm grow and multiply?

Not usually. Maybe one in a billion or so.
Tom

 

[George-ananda]

Does the sperm grow and multiply?

No, it merges with the egg.

 

[FearGod]

Not usually. Maybe one in a billion or so.
Tom

The sperm by itself doesn't multiply and doesn't grow.

 

[FearGod]

No, it merges with the egg.

So why you regard it as a living thing?

 

[columbus]

Is this going to be another thread where people spend a lot of time teaching you elementary biology?
Tom

 

[columbus]

The sperm by itself doesn't multiply and doesn't grow.

Your question was whether or not sperm and ovum are living.
Tom

 

[FearGod]

Is this going to be another thread where people spend a lot of time teaching you elementary biology?
Tom

If you aren't interested on this thread then you can leave it and it's even better.

 

[George-ananda]

So why you regard it as a living thing?

Because it is the merger of two living things to make one living thing. What is the point you are getting at?

 

[columbus]

The sperm by itself doesn't multiply and doesn't grow.

Neither do infants.
Tom

 

[FearGod]

Your question was whether or not sperm and ovum are living.
Tom

I didn't say the zygote, which is even not a living organism yet, anyway

 

[FearGod]

Neither do infants.
Tom

Infants do grow.

 

[columbus]

I didn't say the zygote, which is even not a living organism yet, anyway

Not only is a zygote a living organism, it is a human being.
Tom

 

[Yerda]

Are they regarded a living matter or non living matter?

Do you regard your skin, liver or nerve cells as living or nonliving matter?

 

[columbus]

Infants do grow.

Not by themselves.
By themselves they die of dehydration or something.
Tom

 

[FearGod]

Not by themselves.
By themselves they die of dehydration or something.
Tom

Regardless, they'll grow
The same thing for you, you should eat to grow and you'll die if you think yourself a tree.
If you don't want to make a serious discussion then don't waste my and your time.

 

[columbus]

Regardless, they'll grow

No they won't.
Unless they find themselves in a good environment they die.
Same with sperm cells and ovum. They are different, but they are just as alive as you are. Your question is answered, but you seem to have another agenda that you are not talking about.
What is it?
Tom
