You were actually chosen for life!

Scientists have always thought in the fertilization process that individual sperms fight their way among each other to penetrate and fertilize the precious egg. As it turns out, the conscious egg has a say in the reproduction process as well.

Studies conducted at the Pacific Northwest Research Institute have have shown that eggs choose which sperm carries the best genes. Scientists gave male mice a mutant copy of a cancer gene and then made them breed with female mice with normal genes. Only 27% of the offspring carried the mutant copy of the cancer gene when the scientists thought it would be upward of 75%. That study suggests that the female egg chose the best genes to get fertilized by.

Rivers are a great place to study the behavior of the sperm and egg. Salmon and trout eggs are floating around everywhere along the accompanying sperm. Both fish being genetically similiar, the egg needs to differentiate between the two different fish sperms.

Professor Matt Gage, from UEA's School of Biological Sciences, said: "The salmon-trout system is ideal for studying sperm-egg compatibilities because we are able to conduct controlled fertilization experiments and measure sperm behavior under conditions to which the gametes are naturally adapted. Although we found almost 100% infertility between salmon and trout sperm and eggs, when we mixed equal amounts of sperm from both species together, we found that sperm from their own species won 70 per cent of the fertilization."

These are amazing findings! It shows that there is a conscious presence in the female egg which could suggest our eternal wanting for acceptance by the female, either in men or women.

The fact that every singer person on the planet has competed among thousands of other sperms to win the prize of life should bring some comfort to those who need to feel acceptance, they have already been accepted into experience!

These finding raise many philosophical questions like: Where does the consciousness in the egg come from? Does the psychology of the egg and sperm have an effect on the difference between men and women?
