People's birthdays should be...

Posted by NGReviewEater - April 18th, 2010

People's birthday should be the day their father's sperm and mother's ovum (egg) have merged together. Rather than the day when you were expelled from your mother's womb/vagina/whatever.

Let's think about it; the time when the two gametes (sex cells) is the time when life (a human) has been created, so wouldn't it make sense to make that moment the birthday of somebody?

I see this as a two-sided argument, but personally I think the time in the mother's womb when a human was one single cell before it divided billions of times should be the "birth day" since it was the time life was created. Then again some people believe that when the two cells come together it's not a human until it's a fetus...

Discuss, and state what factor YOU think should be one's birthday: the day when you came out of your mother's womb or the day when your first cell was created and all your DNA came together.

i agree with you.

Did you even read the post?

Why not the date of implantation? It's not unusual for fertilized eggs to fail to implant and be flushed from the system, after all. Of course, both fertilization and implantation are nearly impossible to pinpoint to the exact day, so...yeah.

The date of implantation DOES work as well, but still the moment the cell was complete is the precise moment life was created.

Well we can use an estimation of subtracting 9 months from the date of birth given to determine fertilization. So for me it probably would be January 19th instead of September 19th. Implantation may be like 4 (?) days added on to that.

You still have a good point Slash, nevertheless. Especially with fertilized eggs failing to implant.

Hmm... you could say that, I never thought of that before...

NGReviewEater 2010-04-18 11:31:36

Neither did I, and since I didn't make a news post today I decided to blabber about it.

I think they do that in Japan.

NGReviewEater 2010-04-18 14:43:32

Oh really?

I never knew that.

chillbro 2010-04-19 20:44:12

Well it is a BIRTHday.

NGReviewEater 2010-04-19 20:44:12

Yes and it also can be the day the egg was fertilized, for it was the BIRTH of LIFE.

It still is a double-sided argument.
