  Zygote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A zygote (Greek: ζυγωτόν) is a cell that is the result of fertilization.
That is, two haploid cells—usually (but not always) an ovum from a female and a sperm cell from a male—merge into a single diploid cell called the zygote (or zygocyte).
Animal zygotes undergo mitotic cell divisions to become an embryo.

 Zygote Adoption - Adoption Encyclopedia
A key disadvantage mentioned by many critics of zygote adoption is that it appears likely money would change hands, especially between a donor mother and the gestational mother who carries the child.
In addition, the problem of many infertile couples-the denial of infertility-is clearly a potential problem in zygote adoption, where the surrogate mother can represent to herself and others that the child is genetically her own child.
Parents may choose not to tell the child at all of the genetic heritage, which could result in serious trauma if and when the child later learns he or she is not genetically related to the mother and/or father.

 ZYGOTE
In winter 1998 Hirsch founded ZYGOTE project, when he composed a large collection of compositions, where the fictive, geometric symbolism of certain mechanisms of the human psyche is applied.
Sound is an important component, creating a simply structured, yet emotionally tense atmosphere, where the lightly industrialised or noise instrumentation of the compositions plays the role of the chaotic and likewise irritating element, the hypnotic rhythm than the role of order’s go-between, pointing attention’s direction to new levels of seeing things.
Zygote was originally a Hirsch´s solo project, thanks to its successful stage presentation with vocalist Martina Sanollová and different creative orientation it was constituted as a detachment.

But the human zygote is a living individual (or more than one such individual) with the natural potential, as a whole, to act in these ways.
The zygote is a single cell that is a whole body in itself.
With the perspective of an evolutionist, who once said that the evolution from non-life to life was a "leap from zero to everything," we might say that the transition from parent body to offspring is a leap from zero self to all of self.

 Why Abortion is Moral -- By Elroy
They are fond of saying, "an acorn is an oak tree in an early stage of development; likewise, the zygote is a human being in an early stage of development." And they would be right.
Your hair follicle shares everything in common with a human zygote except that it is a little bit bigger and it is not a potential person.
They claim RU-486 should be illegal for a mother to take because it causes her uterus to flush its nutrient-rich lining, thus removing a zygote from its necessary support system and, therefore, ending its short existence as a life form.

 A Little Urbanity: I, Zygote
Some have proposed that zygotes, and their more advanced brethren, embryos, have no claim to the rest of their lives because they lack nerves, brains, consciousness, etc. But we perform painful and death-dealing experiments on all sorts of creatures (e.g., rats, rabbits, primates) that are fully sentient, and perhaps self-aware.
I argued that the particular genome that contributes to my individuality was present and functioning at my zygotic stage and not before, and that it was functioning in a distinctly human way even at that stage of my development.
Ryan, I have argued that a zygote is an identifiably human, genetically distinct, functioning organism whose activities and potentialities are such that its course of development is continuous with that of the lifespan of a normally developing person, or rather, are a continuous part of that development.

Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote.
That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken.
The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg.

What results is called a zygote, a one-celled biological entity, a stage in human development through which each of us has passed (just as we have passed through infancy, childhood, and adolescence).
It is a misnomer to refer to this entity as a "fertilized ovum." For both ovum and sperm, which are genetically each a part of its owner (mother and father, respectively), cease to exist at the moment of conception.
The same being that begins as a zygote continues to birth and adulthood.
