No, the question of what it is has not been settled because we do not know if the fertilized cell has all the necessary "ingredients". It has to be able to carry on the processes of life in order to be classified as an organism and considering 50% do not carry on the processes of life it's both reasonable and logical to conclude they do not have the necessary ingredients.
Oh yes, the question has been answered. We've had a 20 page thread about it, Apple. Are you going to ignorantly re-post the same debunked idiocy you posted last time? The process BEGAN... you fucking admitted a process began when you made the point about 50% of the "cells" aborting... they weren't "cells" though, what aborted was the two cells, possibly more, which was the result of conception. When it was a single cell, it was either a sperm cell or an egg cell.
I have already acknowledged, once the organism is no longer carrying on the process of life, it is no longer living.
