Pure unadulterated horse feathers. What you've done is expound a philosophy, then try to assert that what scientists (Embryologists) use as their fundamental axioms in science are philosophical perspectives. Apparently you do not understand waht science IS.

YOU TOO have made the typical error of citing subunits of organs as if they are equivocal to an entire organism. Sperm and ova are subunits of organs (the gonads), and organs are subunits of an integrated whole ORGANSIM.

[Incidentally, once mitosis occurs (cell division of the first diploid formed at conception), there is no longer a 'fertilized egg' ... the organism has become multicellular as soon as two diploids are present; the sex cells are haploids. With the third cell, the encapsulating placental organ is being built.]
