I feel my oocytes are being discriminated against because they haven't become zygotes yet.

A zygote can now save for college but my oocytes, that also have potential, can't even get social security cards.

I'd like to have a tax deduction for housing and other maintenance for each of my oocytes.

I don't think this unfair to ask.

If a zygote can have a college fund, my oocytes - which I house, nourish, and otherwise care for, deserve to be counted as my dependents for the purposes of filing taxes.

After all, my oocytes are homo sapien oocytes.

Thank you.

Because - that's why.

Eggs are people too!

I lovingly housed and nurtured them for 54 years, then they left and caused me a lot of trouble in the process. I should get a refund on all the back taxes.

Like the Military, they were ready for duty but just weren't called up. Now they're retired.

Remember the sperma!

But seriously folks, this is just the next step to life beginning at conception. This cannot be allowed to proceed.
